"Photo 51" was a cleaner version of an earlier X-ray image, "Photo 49," that Rosalind Franklin had already used to calculate ...
Rosalind Franklin knew about DNA's double-helix structure ahead of Watson and Crick, a new study of her photos and notes ...
A new analysis suggests that Rosalind Franklin, who took the first images of DNA’s double-helix structure, knew far more ...
New historical research shows Rosalind Franklin deliberately created 'Photo 51' as a planned, high-quality repeat of an ...
James D. Watson, whose role as co-discoverer of the structure of the DNA molecule in 1953 made him one of the key figures in the rise of molecular biology as well as the obvious choice to be first ...
They were hardly modest, these two brash young scientists who in 1953 declared to patrons of the Eagle Pub in Cambridge, England, that they had "found the secret of life." But James Watson and Francis ...
To you or me, a tiny drop of water looks ordinary. There seems to be nothing special about it. However, some researchers see ...
Scientists have discovered a new property of the molecular motors that shape our chromosomes. While six years ago they found that these so-called SMC motor proteins make long loops in our DNA, they ...
