Described December 23 in the journal Science Advances, the software lets users take drawings or digital models of rounded shapes and turn them into 3D structures made of DNA.

SASKATOON -- When Francis Crick and James Watson discovered the double helical structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in 1953, it began a genetic revolution to map, study, and sequence the ...

Chances are you've seen an illustration of DNA's double-helix structure and even pictures of the chromosomes that make up the human genome. But where and how does the famous double helix fit into ...

In 1953, Watson and Crick came up with the standard double-helix model of DNA. Two twisted polynucleotide chains create a double helix held together by nucleotide base pairs.

The 3-dimensional double helix structure of DNA, correctly elucidated by James Watson and Francis Crick. Complementary bases are held together as a pair by hydrogen bonds.

One of the great discoveries of the 20th century was how the shape of DNA allows those genes to work. Each DNA molecule is actually a pair of strands wound together, forming a double helix.

Double helix structures, such as DNA, are well known in nature, and they have high bending stiffness. DNA has a diameter of about 2.5 nanometers and is rigid up to about 50 nanometers in length ...

The four code chemicals in real DNA are usually represented by the letters T, A, C and G. They are not colorful, but they are as particular: T and A always pair together, as do G and C. The ...

RNA double helix structure identified using synchrotron light Date: August 26, 2013 Source: McGill University Summary: Scientists successfully crystallized a short RNA sequence, poly (rA)11, and ...
