Since the discovery of the double-helical structure of DNA and postulation of the central dogma of molecular biology, stating that the flow of genetic information goes from DNA to RNA to protein, the ...

Scientists discover hidden DNA scaffolding that forms before genes activate, revealing life’s blueprint is built before it begins.

A fleeting DNA fold called i‑DNA can switch cancer‑related genes on and off, revealing a hidden structural weak point that ...

New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...

Alan Herbert, Founder and President of InsideOutBio, discusses the evolution of biological concepts related to DNA and protein structures ...

While the central dogma of molecular biology outlines the linear flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to proteins (black lines), glycomics introduces a “3rd code of life”—glycans—that operates ...

According to Li-Qun Gu, DNA is an extremely compact, stable package of information. Natural DNA strands encode the biological blueprints of all life on Earth but ...

James D. Watson, whose role as co-discoverer of the structure of the DNA molecule in 1953 made him one of the key figures in the rise of molecular biology as well as the obvious choice to be first ...

James Watson, one of the 20th century’s most famous scientists, passed away on Thursday (November 6). He was 97. Despite this, Watson was supportive of female scientists, shared Nancy Hopkins, a ...
