Franklin W. Stahl, an American molecular biologist whose landmark 1957-58 experiment with colleague Matthew Meselson revealed how DNA replicates, helping pave the way for a revolution in genetics ...

DNA usually forms the classic double helix shape of two strands wound around each other. ... such as those which are not fluorescent and can't be seen under the microscope, to be better understood.

By creating a more true-to-life representation of DNA's environment, researchers at Northwestern University have discovered that strand separation—the essential process a "resting" double helix ...

During DNA replication, the classic double helix can temporarily rearrange into an alternative structure known as a DNA three ...

The book is "The Secret of Life: Rosalind Franklin, James Watson, Francis Crick, and the Discovery of DNA's Double Helix." Howard Markel, always great to see you. Dr. Howard Markel: ...

Using DNA origami, they built rotor arms out of DNA so that they could watch with a high-speed camera on a microscope the untwisting of the DNA by CRISPR enzymes, causing the rotor arm to spin ...

DNA origami, a fascinating technology that uses algorithms to design self-assembling 2- and 3D nanostructures using DNA helices, has added a new member to its growing catalog: multilayered capsule ...

The most famous image to emerge from 20th-century biology is the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) double helix, illustrating the structure of the gene, life’s genetic material.

New research predicts the location of DNA sequences that can form structures besides the canonical double helix — non-B DNA — in the recently released telomere-to-telomere genomes of the great ...
