[to] one man, one place, one date." Laying the Groundwork: Levene Investigates the Structure of DNA Meanwhile, even as Miescher's name fell into obscurity by the twentieth century, other ...

Her colleague Maurice Wilkins was independently pursuing DNA’s structure, and she had grown so miserable there, largely because of their rivalry, that she had found a position at another university.

Not all DNA looks like the familiar twisted ladder. Sometimes, parts of our genetic code fold into unusual shapes. One such ...

B-DNA is the most common form of DNA and has a right-handed double helix structure. A-DNA forms in a shorter, right-handed double helix. The function of this form is to protect DNA. DNA will ...

Scientists have recovered genetic material from a skull found in northeastern China, which they say reveals the most complete ...

Researchers discovered that HSV-1 (herpes simplex virus) actively reshapes the 3D layout of human DNA within hours of ...

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed. The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by ...

Cold sore-causing HSV-1 doesn't just hijack cells it reconfigures the entire architecture of our DNA to aid its invasion.

RNA strands are shorter than DNA strands. RNA sometimes forms a secondary double helix structure, but only intermittently. DNA is a much longer polymer than RNA. A chromosome, for example, is a single ...

This glassy DNA is so stable that it preserved the three-dimensional structure of chromosomes in one woolly mammoth for 52,000 years, researchers report July 11 in Cell. The find gave researchers ...
