This letter sure has dominant genes — a 1953 missive from the co-discoverer of DNA’s structure to his 12-year-old son explaining how “life comes from life’’ was auctioned for a record ...

Coded into letters—A, C, G and T—these instructions govern the way our bodies look and the way they work. In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the now-famous "double helix" DNA ...

The team also found that this change in DNA structure was mediated by a targeted enzyme, designed to unwind the DNA and allow new bonds to form between the letters that make up our genetic code.

He has stayed in academia and continued working on many of the fundamental questions related to the structure of DNA molecules. One of his main areas of study is G-quadruplexes, which consist of ...

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 ...

An artificial intelligence (AI) model developed by Google DeepMind in London could help scientists to make sense of this ...

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 ...

Rosalind Franklin’s role in the discovery of the structure of DNA may have been different than previously believed. Franklin wasn’t the victim of data theft at the hands of James Watson and ...
