DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team. DNA is widely accepted to be formed of two strands that wind around one ...

For decades, biologists treated DNA as a static string of letters, a linear code that cells read like text on a page. A new wave of research is forcing a rethink, showing that the three-dimensional ...

An important specialty in this field—and a signature area of study at the University at Albany's RNA Institute—is DNA nanotechnology, wherein the base pairs that comprise DNA molecules are manipulated ...

James Watson, the Nobel Prize-winning scientist who co-discovered the double-helix structure of DNA in 1953, has died. Watson was 97 years old and passed away after a brief illness. His groundbreaking ...

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 97. The ...
