For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a ...

Reconstructing accurately how the parts of a complex molecular are held together knowing only how the molecule distorts and breaks up. This was the challenge taken on by a research team led by SISSA’s ...

Al though they had no way of taking a firsthand look at their discovery, they managed to deduce a detailed description of the now famous “double helix” that paved the way for the new science of ...

Artificial intelligence has just redrawn the map of our genome’s control room, revealing hundreds of thousands of tiny DNA ...

Most biochemistry labs that study DNA isolate it within a water-based solution that allows scientists to manipulate DNA without interacting with other molecules. They also tend to use heat to separate ...

(AP) - James D. Watson, whose co-discovery of the twisted-ladder structure of DNA in 1953 helped light the long fuse on a revolution in medicine, crimefighting, genealogy and ethics, has died. He was ...

There’s no telling how the history of science might have changed if James Watson had had more fun with the binoculars he bought in 1940. He was only 12, but he bought them with his own money, and he ...

The synthesized double-helical monometallofoldamers exhibiting controllable chirality switching can lead to the development of novel artificial supramolecular systems for molecular information ...
