A team that includes Rutgers University-New Brunswick scientists has unlocked some of the secrets of corn DNA, revealing how ...

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. Organisms composed of ...

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team.

EVER since James Watson and Francis Crick first described the structure of DNA in the 1950s, people have been trying to come up with a metaphor that properly captures what this complex molecule ...

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 ...

The discovery of DNA as a double helix is a hallowed story of scientific triumph. But decades later, we’re still learning that DNA is a more furiously complicated piece of biological machinery ...

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team.

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 ...

The Discovery of DNA's Structure Taken in 1952, this image is the first X-ray picture of DNA, which led to the discovery of its molecular structure by Watson and Crick.

DNA is perhaps the most famous molecule on earth. Here we explain what it is, what it does, and how it is crucial for health.

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 ...

The shape of molecules to come: A Q&A on designing DNA nanostructures for biomedical applications by Erin Frick, University at Albany Editors' notes ...
