New research predicts the location of DNA sequences that can form structures besides the canonical double helix — non-B DNA — in the recently released telomere-to-telomere genomes of the great apes, ...

Each DNA strand within the double helix is a long, linear molecule made of smaller units called nucleotides that form a chain. The chemical backbones of the double helix are made up of sugar and ...

Watson and Crick ultimately used Franklin's images, along with their own evidence for the double-stranded nature of DNA, to argue that DNA actually takes the form of a double helix, a ladder-like ...

Researchers, led by Penn State biologists, have comprehensively predicted the location of potential non-B DNA structures in ...
