In his 1968 book "The Double Helix," Watson alleged that he saw Franklin's photograph without her knowing and upon first glance he was able to spot DNA's double-helix structure, making it appear ...

By Tina Hesman Saey April 26, 2023 at 12:59 pm - More than 2 years ago Rosalind Franklin’s role in the discovery of the structure of DNA may have been different than previously believed.

NEW YORK -- The discovery of DNA's double helix structure 70 years ago opened up a world of new science -- and also sparked disputes over who contributed what and who deserves credit.

Dr. Howard Markel: Yes. Yes. 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.

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.

Typically, DNA is a double helix with right-handed helical sense throughout the molecule. In switchback DNA, right-handed half-turns are arranged in such a way that the molecule as a whole is a ...

DNA is widely accepted to be formed of two strands that wind around one another, known as a double helix, but it is possible for DNA to change shape and structure. The new study, published in ...

DNA holds the instructions that make us who we are. If we want to read those instructions, say to understand our ...

We looked at the inverse problem: we started from the DNA’s response to aggressive stresses, such as the forced unzipping of the double helix, to recover the details of the thermodynamics. Due to the ...

Researchers, led by Penn State biologists, have comprehensively predicted the location of potential non-B DNA structures in the newly available telomere-to-telomere genomes of the great apes.
