Cancer isn't just about broken genes—it's about broken architecture. Imagine a city where roads suddenly vanish, cutting off ...
In the middle of the 20th century, accumulating data suggested that DNA carries life’s genetic information. Biochemists around the world raced to determine its structure. The competition led to some ...
For James Watson, DNA was everything — not just his life's work, but the secret of life itself. Over his long and storied career, Watson arguably did more than any other scientist to transform a ...
When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key ...
By the time James Watson died earlier this month at the age of 97, he was one of the world’s most famous — and infamous — scientists. In 1953, he and three fellow researchers co-discovered the ...
James Watson, a renowned molecular biologist and one of the Nobel Prize winners for discovering the structure of DNA, died Thursday after a brief illness, according to a statement from his former ...
James D Watson, the brilliant but controversial American biologist whose 1953 co-discovery of the structure of DNA, the molecule of heredity, ushered in the age of genetics and provided the foundation ...
His decoding of the blueprint for life with Francis H.C. Crick made him one of the most important scientists of the 20th century. He wrote a celebrated memoir and later ignited an uproar with racist ...
