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 discovery of DNA structure by James Watson and Francis Crick in the year 1953 is one of the most revolutionary scientific discoveries to date. However, the research leading to the discovery of ...

New Twisted 'Knot' Human DNA Structure Discovered—and It Looks Nothing Like the Double Helix. Published Apr 23, 2018 at 12:58 PM EDT Updated Apr 23, 2018 at 1:53 PM EDT. By .

Another DNA structure, called G-quadruplex DNA, was imaged by researchers in human cells in 2013, though the function of those structures is still being explored.

When we think of the structure of DNA, the image that most likely comes to mind is that of the iconic double helix. Now, Australian scientists have found a new form, a twisted knot known as the i ...

In a world first, researchers have identified a new DNA structure -- called the i-motif -- inside cells. A twisted 'knot' of DNA, the i-motif has never before been directly seen inside living cells.

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 ...

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is fundamental to your growth, reproduction, and health. Read about its basic function and structures.

Watson and Crick's discovery of DNA structure in 1953 revealed a possible mechanism for DNA replication. So why didn't Meselson and Stahl finally explain this mechanism until 1958?
