DNA holds our genetic blueprints, but its cousin, RNA, conducts our daily lives I n 1957, just four years after Francis Crick ...

Scientists have found a flaw in the most common model for DNA elasticity, a discovery that will improve the accuracy of single-molecule research and perhaps pave the way for DNA to become an ...

Nobel laureates Drs. Francis Crick and James Watson's first model of DNA is shown as a rigid double helix. However, the model is a stiff snapshot of idealized DNA. As researchers now note, DNA is ...

The new work that is getting under way, called the Synthetic Human Genome Project, potentially takes this a giant leap forward – it will allow researchers not just to read a molecule of DNA, but ...
