One such input, DNA breathing, or the local and spontaneous opening and closing of the DNA double-helix structure, correlates with transcriptional activity, such as transcription factor binding.

DNA holds the instructions that make us who we are. If we want to read those instructions, say, to understand our ...

The double helix is a description of the molecular shape of a double-stranded DNA molecule. In 1953, Francis Crick and James Watson first described the molecular structure of DNA, which they ...

(Nanowerk News) Watson and Crick proposed the DNA double-helix structure over 60 years ago, but DNA is not always arranged in a double helix, also forming other structures. One such structure is ...

James Watson and Francis Crick proposed that DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) was a double-helix structure, not a triple stranded structure as had been previously hypothesized, on April 2, 1953. The ...

Double-stranded DNA is composed of two linear strands that run opposite to each other, known as anti-parallel strands; these strands twist together to form a double helix.

New Twisted 'Knot' Human DNA Structure Discovered—and It Looks Nothing Like the Double Helix Published Apr 23, 2018 at 12:58 PM EDT Updated Apr 23, 2018 at 1:53 PM EDT By Katherine Hignett ...

Rediscovered letters and postcards highlight the fierce competition among scientists who discovered DNA's famous double-helix structure and unraveled the genetic code. Francis Crick and James D ...

Researchers in the department of nanostructures and nanochemistry at the Genoa-based Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) report that they have imaged the DNA double helix for the first time ...

SASKATOON -- When Francis Crick and James Watson discovered the double helical structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in 1953, it began a genetic revolution to map, study, and sequence the ...
