Researchers unveil the fractal globule structure of DNA, providing new insights into genome organization and its implications for gene regulation and disease.

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.

Breaking bonds: Double-helix unzipping reveals DNA physics Using previously developed theoretical and mathematical models, researchers used information on the speed of the process of DNA unzipping ...

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 ...

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

More than seven decades later, mathematician Robert Monjo believes he has discovered a similarly significant double helix — but this time not as the structure of human DNA, but as the structure ...

Together, they said, these documents indicate that Franklin did not fail to understand the structure of DNA, and was “an equal member of a quartet who solved the double helix”.

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.

Francis Crick, who helped discover the double helix shape of DNA along with James Watson, has died aged 88. Professor Crick died at Thornton Hospital in San Diego, US, where he had been battling colon ...

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. Now, two ...

Using previously developed theoretical and mathematical models, researchers were able to work “backwards”, using the information on the speed to accurately reconstruct the thermodynamics of the ...
