Scientists have for the first time captured a direct image of DNA, the structure that encodes the genetic instructions of all living organisms. Enzo di Fabrizio and colleagues from the University of ...
Researchers have identified the specific structural loops in G-quadruplex DNA that allow it to act as a chaperone, preventing ...
In 1953, Cambridge researchers Watson and Crick published a paper describing the interweaving ‘double helix’ DNA structure – the chemical code for all life. Now, in the year of that scientific ...
Videos allowing us to see for the first time how small circles of DNA adopt dance-like movements inside a cell have been developed by researchers at universities in Yorkshire. Researchers from the ...
The erasure of women in science also marked Canadian scientist and U of T alumnus Maud Menten’s career. Frederick Banting, ...
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...
Less than a year before Watson and Crick’s paper, "A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid," was published in Nature, 60 years ago today, Rosalind Franklin sent around a hand-lettered obituary: ...
A previously overlooked letter and a news article that was never published, both written in 1953, add to other lines of evidence showing Rosalind Franklin was an equal contributor — not a victim — in ...
