But James Watson and Francis Crick's claim was a valid one, for they had in fact discovered the structure of DNA, the chemical that encodes instructions for building and replicating almost all ...

To actually visualize the double-helical structure of DNA, researchers require special ... To see chromosomes in this way, scientists must first use a chemical process that attaches the ...

How it serves as the “blueprint of life” was a mystery, the solution of which required the determination of DNA’s exact ...

This way DNA can reproduce itself without changing its structure -- except for occasional errors, or mutations. The structure so perfectly fit the experimental data that it was almost immediately ...

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material found in nearly all living organisms. It carries the genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all ...

The new Dogma meets Thomas Kuhn’s definition of a paradigm shift. The DNA/RNA Dogma is sufficiently unprecedented to attract ...

A tiny dinosaur and a miniscule map of Australia are two of a new class of versatile and programmable nanostructures ...
