We need a satisfactory metaphor for DNA. By Stephen Strauss. 18 February 2009 ... EVER since James Watson and Francis Crick first described the structure of DNA in the 1950s, ...

DNA is found in nearly all living cells. However, its exact location within a cell depends on whether that cell possesses a special membrane-bound organelle called a nucleus.

And the i-motif is not the first four-stranded structure to be found in human cells; scientists already did that with the discovery of G-quadruplex DNA in humans in 2013.

The researchers were focusing on i-motif DNA, which has an interlocking structure resembling a knot, and was only confirmed to be found in living human cells in 2018.

DNA origami: The shape of things to come. Scientists have coaxed DNA into self-assembled shapes such as spheres and corkscrews. Dongran Han. March 21, 2013, 6:19 PM EDT. By Science.

Neuroscientists have uncovered a new mechanism for memory formation, and it involves changes in the structure of your DNA. If you were asked to picture a molecule of DNA, chances are you would ...

As the first crystal structure of this type, the researchers say it will also be useful as a model for other targets in the genome, besides the insulin gene, which form this shape of DNA.

We each have about 20,000 genes, all of which sit together on a molecule of DNA. One of the great discoveries of the 20th century was how the shape of DNA allows those genes to work.

The Discovery of DNA's Structure: They were hardly modest, these two brash young scientists who in 1953 declared to patrons of the Eagle Pub in Cambridge, England, that they had "found the secret ...

An important specialty in this field—and a signature area of study at the University at Albany's RNA Institute—is DNA nanotechnology, wherein the base pairs that comprise DNA molecules are ...

In 1963, Popular Science reported on the Nobel Prize-winning discovery, and Rosalind Franklin⁠—the woman who was left out of the accolades.
