[to] one man, one place, one date." Laying the Groundwork: Levene Investigates the Structure of DNA Meanwhile, even as Miescher's name fell into obscurity by the twentieth century, other ...

But James Watson and Francis Crick's claim was a valid one, for they had in fact discovered the structure of DNA, the chemical that encodes instructions for building and replicating almost all ...

In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick uncovered the double-helix structure of DNA, changing the course of biology and genetics forever. Role of Rosalind Franklin's X-ray Images ...

Members of the same species usually have DNA similar enough to have the same chromosomes and autosomes (chromosomes that don't code for sex-linked traits). In its structure, DNA contains a pattern ...

New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team. DNA is widely accepted to be formed of two strands that wind around one ...

The G-loop acts like a landing pad for additional proteins. These proteins untie the G4 knot, break apart the G-loop and ...

Not all DNA looks like the familiar twisted ladder. Sometimes, parts of our genetic code fold into unusual shapes. One such ...
