Computational chemists at the University of Amsterdam's Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences have developed a ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...

A team led by Professor Michal Hocek at IOCB Prague has explored the limits of the structure and function of DNA and successfully pushed forward known boundaries. Their latest research has just been ...

A joint research team has developed an automated design technology that enables the creation of DNA origami structures that ...

Seventy years ago, two male scientists, Francis Crick and James Watson, proclaimed they had discovered the secret of life: the structure of DNA. Since then, history has acknowledged how Rosalind ...

Scientists uncovered DNA's double helix structure in 1953. James Watson and Francis Crick proposed the model. It explained ...

In one sentence: DNA origami is a self-assembly technique that folds a long single-stranded DNA molecule into precisely defined nanoscale shapes using hundreds of short, computer-designed staple ...

How does your body produce millions of antibodies from one genome? New research reveals how two closely related proteins help ...

The genome is more than a linear code; it is a dynamic structure whose three-dimensional folding dictates how genes are regulated. Traditional sequencing technologies capture base-level variation but ...

A piece that aired on NPR this week about the discovery of DNA's structure neglected to mention the significant contribution of Rosalind Franklin to that scientific milestone. And now some important ...

James Watson, the scientist who became famous for helping discover the structure of DNA in 1953 and notorious decades later for suggesting that Black people are intellectually inferior to whites, has ...
