DNA is the molecule that contains all the genetic information necessary for the development and functioning of living organisms. It is organized in a structure called "chromatin," which is found ...

Most people are familiar with the DNA double-helix. Its twisted ladder shape forms because the long pieces of DNA that make up our genome are exactly complementary—every adenine paired to a thymine, ...

Google DeepMind has expanded its AlphaFold AI system to not only predict the structure of proteins, but also to model how proteins interact with other cell structures, including DNA, RNA, and small ...

Posts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. AlphaFold 3 uses the same method as AI image generators to predict how different molecules fit together.

In May 1952, Rosalind Franklin and Raymond Gosling captured Photo 51, a crucial X-ray diffraction image revealing DNA's ...

James Dewey Watson, whose co-discovery of the twisted-ladder structure of DNA in 1953 helped launch a revolution in biology and medicine, died Thursday at age 97. He died in hospice care after a brief ...
