Researchers utilized recently published telomere-to-telomere genomes of humans, chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, and two ...

that the DNA molecule exists in the form of a three-dimensional double helix. More than 50 years passed before the significance of Miescher's discovery of nucleic acids was widely appreciated by ...

Not all DNA is in the double helix form described in textbooks since the 1950’s. Quadruple helix DNA, also known as G-quadruplex DNA, was identified in the human genome several decades ago, and ...

By creating a more true-to-life representation of DNA's environment, researchers have discovered that strand separation may take more mechanical force than the field previously believed.

Certain DNA sequences can form structures other than the canonical double helix. These alternative DNA conformations—referred to as non-B DNA—have been implicated as regulators of cellular ...

to argue that DNA actually takes the form of a double helix, a ladder-like structure that is twisted along its entire length (Figure 6). Franklin, Watson, and Crick all published articles ...

Franklin, working mostly alone, found that her x-ray diffractions showed that the "wet" form of DNA (in the higher humidity) had all the characteristics of a helix. She suspected that all DNA was ...
