For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event ...

Using cutting-edge cryo-electron microscopy, scientists at the University of Leicester have captured the first detailed ...

MSK researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer.

The diagnostics firm 23andMe has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in Missouri federal court. The DNA testing kit ...

Scientists at the University of Leicester have captured the first detailed “molecular movie” showing DNA being unzipped at ...

Franklin, working mostly alone, found that her x-ray diffractions showed that the "wet" form of DNA (in the higher humidity) had all the characteristics of a helix. She suspected that all DNA was ...

Feedback, a Lego fan, delves into a new science-related set, and learns that the model of a DNA double helix is the wrong way around. Time for some jokes about mirror ...

This showed that DNA had a helix shape. Without her knowledge, one of her colleagues showed the picture to James Watson. When he saw it, he knew that his and Francis Crick’s theory about the ...

The discovery, published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature, is stated to have far-reaching implications, helping us to ...

and then twists the DNA helix to make the damage accessible. XPC then calls in other repair proteins to help initiate the ...
