James Watson and Francis Crick revealed the structure of DNA — the genetic instructions in all living things — 70 years ago in the journal Nature. Watson and Crick could not have succeeded ...

In the middle of the 20th century, accumulating data suggested that DNA carries life’s genetic information. Biochemists around the world raced to determine its structure. The competition led to ...

In 1963, Popular Science reported on the Nobel Prize-winning discovery, and Rosalind Franklin⁠—the woman who was left out of the accolades.

B-DNA is the most common form of DNA and has a right-handed double helix structure. A-DNA forms in a shorter, right-handed double helix. The function of this form is to protect DNA.

How exercise might help prevent DNA damage, age-related vascular issues. Written by Tim Newman on April 5, 2024 — Fact checked by Jill Seladi-Schulman, Ph.D.

Regular aerobic exercise later in life prevents genomic instability characterized by DNA damage and telomere dysfunction, according to a study from the Department of Internal Medicine at the ...

70 years ago, a scientific discovery changed the world Here's NPR correspondent Joe Palca, from a 1993 broadcast, to commemorate the anniversary of the discovery of the structure of DNA.

The researchers were focusing on i-motif DNA, which has an interlocking structure resembling a knot, and was only confirmed to be found in living human cells in 2018.

A piece that aired on NPR this week about the discovery of DNA's structure neglected to mention the significant contribution of Rosalind Franklin to that scientific milestone.

The first, called SCML2, disconnects junctions and allows the DNA to unfold and loosen, preparing it to be reorganized in the next stage of sperm cell development. Another protein, CTCF, attaches to ...
