Now, collaborating with Jim Watson, who had returned from Cambridge, I was taken with a challenge put forth in his famed double-helix manuscript. 1. In their 1953 publication on the DNA double helix, ...

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 ...

During DNA replication, the classic double helix can temporarily rearrange into an alternative structure known as a DNA three-way junction (3WJ). These configurations form a well-defined central ...

The pair have a “Eureka” moment upon seeing this image, realizing that DNA must have a double helical structure. The two construct an accurate representation of the structure of DNA—and the rest is ...

An unusual DNA structure may hold the key to treating one of the deadliest cancers affecting women, which claims more than ...

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: ...

Born in London on July 25, 1920, chemist Rosalind Elsie Franklin was a woman of many talents, the most prominent of which was her talent for scientific discovery. From a young age, Franklin was ...

Seventy years ago, a trio of scientific papers announcing the discovery of DNA’s double helix was published. Watson, Crick and Wilkins won the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine in 1962 for ...

Researchers explore a basic building block used in the fabrication of many DNA nanoforms. Known as a Holliday junction, this nexus of two segments of double stranded DNA has been used to form ...

These kits sequence your DNA and promise to link you to your long-lost ancestors from across the globe. But what exactly is DNA? Many people think of DNA as the typical double-stranded helix structure ...
