For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event for DNA to be the molecule that codes all life.

Following is a transcript of the video. Manny: Commercial DNA tests have been a huge trend lately. They were some of the most popular holiday gifts last year. Which makes sense, there's so much ...

Scientists at the University of Leicester have captured the first detailed "molecular movie" showing DNA being unzipped at the atomic level – revealing how cells begin the crucial process of copying ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Chambers University of Technology have discovered that water is why DNA strands are wrapped around each other and have a helix shape. Understanding how DNA repairs itself could ...

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 ...

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 ...
