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.

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.

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.

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 ...

DNA is a biological molecule that contains the instructions an organism needs to function, develop, and reproduce. It is present in all forms of life on earth and contains each organism’s ...

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: ... demonstrate that the rules of complementarity that Watson and Crick defined in their iconic double-helical model of DNA structure need to be expanded.
