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 ...

In the middle of the 20th century, accumulating data suggested that DNA carries life’s genetic information. Biochemists around the world raced to determine its structure. The competition led to ...

An article written for Time Magazine, but never published, could have rewritten the history of how DNA was discovered.

James Watson and Francis Crick revealed the structure of DNA — the genetic instructions in all living things — 70 years ago in the journal Nature. Watson and Crick could not have succeeded ...
