Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

In May 1952, Rosalind Franklin and Raymond Gosling captured Photo 51, a crucial X-ray diffraction image revealing DNA's ...

Scientists are exploring how DNA’s physical structure can store vast amounts of data and encode secure information.

DNA, the blueprint of life, is best known for its fundamental role as genetic material—storing and transmitting biological information through the precise sequence of its bases. For decades, this ...

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'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 ...

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 of life." But James Watson and Francis ...
