ALKBH1 is a genomic DNA 6mA demethylase that preferentially removes 6mA in bubbled/bulged DNA and ssDNA, instead of dsDNA.

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

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. Credit for the ...

One especially severe form of damage called a double-strand break involves the severing of both strands of the DNA double helix.

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 ...

On the cultural front, April 25, 1953, is notable for the publication of the discovery of the DNA double helix structure by James Watson and Francis Crick.

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 ...

Scientists propose “DNA of the universe” is gap in Einstein’s hunt for unified physics theory Physicists say they detected a double helix in the fabric of spacetime ...

By identifying the structure of DNA, Francis Crick and James Watson revolutionized biochemistry and won a Nobel Prize. All the time Watson was only twenty-four, a young zoologist hungry to make his ...

Instead, she collaborated and shared data with Watson, Crick and Maurice Wilkins. Seventy years ago, a trio of scientific papers announcing the discovery of DNA’s double helix was published.

Historians have long debated the role that Dr. Franklin played in identifying the double helix. A new opinion essay argues that she was an “equal contributor.” ...

A new paper based on long-lost documents confirms that DNA discoverer Rosalind Franklin should be credited for discovering the double helix.
