Watson and Crick’s landmark paper, published in Nature in 1953, included only a cursory acknowledgment of Franklin’s work.

It is the famous lightbulb-going-off story every school kid learns: How James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA, cementing their place in scientific history. But as William ...

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.

Diagrams: Short section of DNA, 1951 -- Chemical structures of the DNA bases, 1951 -- Covalent bonds of the sugar-phosphate backbone -- Schematic view of a nucleotide -- Mg** ions binding phosphate ...

A new paper based on long-lost documents confirms that DNA discoverer Rosalind Franklin should be credited for discovering the double helix.

Scientists propose “DNA of the universe” is gap in Einstein’s hunt for unified physics theory Physicists say they detected a double helix in the fabric of spacetime ...

In the years since their discovery of the double helix, Crick, unlike Watson, has continued to do significant research, mostly by pondering big–and often controversial–theoretical questions ...

“Double Helix,” at Bay Street Theater, illuminates the British scientist’s contributions, which became the basis for James Watson and Francis Crick’s 1953 breakthrough.

USC scientists find DNA replication begins when the double helix, caught in a vice of proteins, melts.

Using previously developed theoretical and mathematical models, researchers used information on the speed of the process of DNA unzipping through a nanopore to accurately retrieve the thermodynamics ...
