New York — The discovery of DNA's double helix structure 70 years ago opened up a world of new science — and also sparked disputes over who contributed what and who deserves credit.

Seventy years ago, a trio of scientific papers announcing the discovery of DNA’s double helix was published. Watson, Crick and Wilkins won the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine in 1962 for ...

Still, if her image led Watson to realize DNA was a double helix, then Watson and Crick committed a faux-pas when they didn't cite Franklin in their landmark paper.

To celebrate DNA, GEN is highlighting this conversation with biologist and author Matthew Cobb, who reflected on the double helix's platinum anniversary April 24, 2023 ...

We looked at the inverse problem: we started from the DNA’s response to aggressive stresses, such as the forced unzipping of the double helix, to recover the details of the thermodynamics. Due to the ...

As a result, the translocated DNA double helix will necessarily split and unwind, an effect known as unzipping. The research team, which also includes Antonio Suma from the University of Bari, ...
