What have we learned about RNA structure and function so far? Although RNA is a single-stranded molecule, researchers soon discovered that it can form double-stranded structures, which are ...

In 1953, Francis Crick and James Watson first described the molecular structure of DNA, which they called a "double helix," in the journal Nature. For this breakthrough discovery, Watson ...

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 ...
