Franklin's lab notes show she grasped the significance of her DNA images, according to a new essay.

Rosalind Franklin knew about DNA's double-helix structure ahead of Watson and Crick, a new study of her photos and notes reveals.

Notes by the scientist pointing to a helical structure once again challenge the distorted account of her role in the ...

In the grand hall of scientific “Eureka!” moments, few have been paraded around as proudly as the discovery of DNA’s double helix—the so-called blueprint of life, the sacred code behind genetics, ...

The discovery of DNA's double helix structure 70 years ago opened up a world of new science — and also sparked disputes over who contributed what and who deserves credit. Much of the controversy comes ...

DNA can be more than just a double helix. When four strands are folded into a compact bundle, they form a G-quadruplex (G4).
