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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 study shows that antibiotic resistance is more easily transmitted between ...

Watson and Crick's discovery of DNA structure in 1953 revealed a possible ... Semiconservative replication was not the only model of DNA replication proposed during the mid-1950s, however.

DNA molecules are large and complex. They carry the genetic code that determines the characteristics of a living organism. The diagram shows the relationship between the cell, its nucleus, the ...

Kanazawa University and colleagues have achieved a breakthrough in understanding sperm DNA packaging. Using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM), they captured the real-time process of ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

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