Ultraviolet (UV) rays from sunlight can cause DNA damage that leads to skin aging and cancer. Fortunately, our bodies have a ...

How a DNA 3D printer could revolutionize nanochip design, enabling optical computing, cheaper microchips, and eco-friendly fabrication.

Research is very much part of Barbara Malheiros' DNA. As part of her PhD research, she placed DNA on the surface of tiny ...

DNA makes RNA, RNA makes protein, protein makes phenotype—was the guiding framework for understanding inheritance and disease ...

Computational predictions of biomolecular structure via artificial intelligence (AI) based approaches, as exemplified by AlphaFold software, have the potential to model of all life’s biomolecules. We ...

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

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 ...

Two researchers say that Rosalind Franklin knowingly collaborated with James Watson and Francis Crick to discover the molecular structure of DNA.

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 ...

70th anniversary of the discovery of the DNA double helix and the 20th anniversary of the completion of the Human Genome Project.
