Our crystals allowed us to determine exactly what the structure of this DNA looks like using X-rays. This has revealed that certain DNA sequences have special, additional interactions which help ...

DNA's double helix has long stood as the symbol of life’s code. But buried within the genome lies a deeper level of complexity. One of the more intriguing discoveries in recent years is the i-motif—a ...

B-DNA is the most common form of DNA and has a right-handed double helix structure. A-DNA forms in a shorter, right-handed double helix. The function of this form is to protect DNA. DNA will ...

But James Watson and Francis Crick's claim was a valid one, for they had in fact discovered the structure of DNA, the chemical that encodes instructions for building and replicating almost all ...

Her colleague Maurice Wilkins was independently pursuing DNA’s structure, and she had grown so miserable there, largely because of their rivalry, that she had found a position at another university.

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...

A piece that aired on NPR this week about the discovery of DNA's structure neglected to mention the significant contribution of Rosalind Franklin to that scientific milestone. And now some ...
