Eggs and embryos from people with polycystic ovary syndrome have altered patterns of so-called epigenetic tags, which could explain how the condition is inherited ...

The discovery of DNA structure by James Watson and Francis Crick in the year 1953 is one of the most revolutionary scientific discoveries to date. However, the research leading to the discovery of ...

Taken in 1952, this image is the first X-ray picture of DNA, which led to the discovery of its molecular structure by Watson and Crick.Created by Rosalind Franklin using a technique called X-ray ...

According to David Liu, a chemical biologist at Harvard University, the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, understanding DNA’s structure “raised the ...

Remote-controlled microflow using light-controlled state transitions within DNA condensates has been reported by scientists ...

Other forms of both DNA and RNA exist that subvert the classical structures of these nucleic acids. Z-DNA While the structure of DNA you will see above – and in any biology textbook you might care to ...

Rosalind Franklin was a chemist and X-ray crystallographer whose data contributed to the discovery of DNA’s molecular structure. That data wasn’t stolen from her, newly uncovered evidence ...

In most chromosomal regions, DNA is wrapped around protein complexes called nucleosomes, which contain eight histone proteins—two each of H2A, H2B, H3, and H4.

A DNA molecule comprises two molecular strands that twist around one another, creating a structure similar to a spiral staircase. Each strand has a series of chemical bases along its length, and ...

Two new landmark studies show how a seeming tangle of DNA is actually organized into a structure that coordinates thousands of genes to form a sperm cell. The work, published March 3 as two papers in ...
