Rediscovered letters and postcards highlight the fierce competition among scientists who discovered DNA's famous double-helix structure and unraveled the genetic code. Francis Crick and James D.

Born in London on July 25, 1920, chemist Rosalind Elsie Franklin was a woman of many talents, the most prominent of which was her talent for scientific discovery. From a young age, Franklin was ...

This month marks the centenary of the birth of Rosalind Elsie Franklin, who was born in Notting Hill, London, on July 25, 1920. Her experimental studies on the structure of DNA gave rise to the double ...

New research predicts the location of DNA sequences that can form structures besides the canonical double helix — non-B DNA — in the recently released telomere-to-telomere genomes of the great apes, ...

The human genome is usually formed as a double helix, but DNA can assume other configurations such as the four-stranded structure. Four-stranded DNA structures are known as G-quadruplexes (G4) and ...

The 1.75 Å crystal structure of the Kluyveromyces lactis heat shock transcription factor (HSF) DNA-binding domain (DBD) complexed with DNA reveals a protein–DNA interface with few direct major groove ...

Rosalind Franklin is known for making a significant contribution to the discovery of the DNA double helix. In recent years, her story has become famous as one of a woman whose scientific work was ...
