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 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 ...

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 ...

New research shows how SMC proteins make long loops in our DNA and also put twists into the loops as they form, helping to shape the double helix.

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 ...

Hoogsteen interactions allow the formation of a triple-helical DNA structure, known as a triplex. This structure is formed when purine bases simultaneously pair using both their Watson–Crick and ...

New Musical Spotlights Rosalind Franklin’s DNA Discoveries “Double Helix,” a fictionalized account of Franklin’s groundbreaking work, premieres this week ...

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.

70th anniversary of the discovery of the DNA double helix and the 20th anniversary of the completion of the Human Genome Project.
