Around the same time, researchers James Watson and Francis Crick were pursuing a definitive model for the stable structure of DNA inside cell nuclei. Watson and Crick ultimately used Franklin's ...

In fact, Watson and Crick were worried that they would be "scooped" by Pauling, who proposed a different model for the three-dimensional structure of DNA just months before they did. In the end ...

With the help of her photograph, James Watson and Francis Crick were able to piece together the first accurate model of DNA. Shown here is the structure of naked DNA -- DNA without all of the ...

He added that to the model, so that matching base ... just like the one before. This way DNA can reproduce itself without changing its structure -- except for occasional errors, or mutations.

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For ...

Crick and Watson were trying to build a 3D model of the DNA molecule. But they were not the only ones working on finding its structure. They were competing with a team at King's College London ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process ...

A team of researchers from the University of Michigan says it is going to look more like a movie than a portrait, thanks to a ...

An AI model trained on large amounts of genetic data can predict whether bacteria will become antibiotic-resistant. The new ...

This multilayer model is compatible with all the structural ... blocks introduced in the monotonous linear structure of ...

What if you could take a picture of every gene inside a living organism—not with light, but with DNA itself? Scientists at ...

Studies on bacteria and viruses have long provided a working model. "Our study showed ... stalled eukaryotic replisome structure reveals helical inchworm DNA translocation, Science (2025).
