Watson and Crick’s landmark paper, published in Nature in 1953, included only a cursory acknowledgment of Franklin’s work.

DNA is more than just the secret of life--it is also a versatile component for making nanoscopic structures and devices The year 2003 witnessed the 50th anniversary of the discovery of DNAs double ...

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

Biophysical and structural analysis revealed that 5fC alters the structure of the DNA double helix and leads to a conformation unique among known DNA structures including those comprising other ...

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

Three-dimensional model (based on electron microscopy data) of the double-ring structure loaded onto a DNA helix.

For the first time, scientists have detected a DNA structure inside living human cells that looks more like a four-stranded knot than the elegant double helix we learned about in school.

The structure shows the H-y5 triple helix, and for the first time how in an H-DNA isomer the purine strand extension interacts with the triplex loop.
