For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a ...

Estrogen is known as an important hormone, and it can control many functions by regulating the activity of hundreds of genes.

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team. DNA is widely accepted to be formed of two strands that wind around one ...

James Dewey Watson, whose co-discovery of the twisted-ladder structure of DNA in 1953 helped launch a revolution in biology and medicine, died Thursday at age 97. He died in hospice care after a brief ...
