The most famous image to emerge from 20th-century biology is the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) double helix, illustrating the structure of the gene, life’s genetic material. Credit for the ...

New research shows how SMC proteins make long loops in our DNA and also put twists into the loops as they form, helping to shape the double helix.

Artist's impression of the DNA double helix structure. We are increasingly learning that these DNA strands can be unzipped to form new structures, affecting which genes are turned on and off in a ...

DNA minicircles and advanced imaging techniques reveal first step to untangle DNA We typically picture DNA as the straight double helix structure, but inside cells, DNA exists in supercoiled loops.

New York — The discovery of DNA's double helix structure 70 years ago opened up a world of new science — and also sparked disputes over who contributed what and who deserves credit.

Two researchers say that Rosalind Franklin knowingly collaborated with James Watson and Francis Crick to discover the molecular structure of DNA.
