"When Watson and Crick described the DNA double helix, they were looking at a tiny part of a real genome, only about one turn of the double helix," University of Leeds researcher Sarah Harris says ...

Dr Harris said: "When Watson and Crick described the DNA double helix, they were looking at a tiny part of a real genome, only about one turn of the double helix. This is about 12 DNA 'base pairs ...

DNA doesn't just coil in the iconic double helix immortalized in every high school biology textbook. It also loops into a menagerie of fantastical shapes, new research finds.

A DNA double helix is made of two strands running in opposite directions. ... "It's a real paradigm shift, and undermines a great deal of what's in the textbooks," he said in an earlier statement.

How DNA finds its match Date: February 8, 2012 Source: University of California - Davis Summary: It's been more than 50 years since James Watson and Francis Crick showed that DNA is a double helix ...

The double-helix structure has practically become synonymous with DNA, but it isn't the only way long strands of genetic information squeeze themselves into a tight space. When a double-strand of DNA ...

It's worth mentioning again and again: a tremendous amount of information on the Internet is wrong. This epidemic of incorrectness extends to the very structure of DNA: the double helix. That's right, ...

The molecular double-helix structure of DNA . Dick Ahlstrom. Thu Apr 25 2013 - 06:00. On this day 60 years ago a scientific-research paper was published that would change the world.

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.

If you've seen a representation of a DNA molecule, you've seen the double helix, in which two strands of genetic material are wound together and linked by bonds. In the laboratory, scientists have ...

The double helix shape is commonly seen inside living organisms, but this is the first time it has been observed in the cosmos. "Nobody has ever seen anything like that before in the cosmic realm ...
