Compared to the stick-and-ball structure Watson and Crick demonstrated with, these computer generated DNA models have come about as far in the past 50 years as the study of genetics. View Slideshow ...
A self-organisation is an universal phenomenon in nature and, in particular, is highly important in materials systems. Our goal was to develop a new theory that provides a computationally effective ...

Exactly 66 years ago, on April 25, 1953, Francis Crick and James Watson published their famous article that showed that the shape of DNA is a double helix. They weren’t able to see DNA directly - it’s ...
IMAGINE DNA. Chances are, the double helix leaps to mind. Ever since James Watson and Francis Crick proposed this elegant structure in 1953, the image of two gracefully intertwined ribbons framing the ...
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.
