Following a successful indoor regular season, and a repeat victory in the Big Ten Indoor Championship, Oregon men’s and women’s track and... Frank Stahl, a professor emeritus of molecular biology, ...

A Harvard professor responsible for one of the most famous biology experiments of all time will be rewarded this Friday with the top American prize in science. Cabot Professor of Natural Sciences ...

We know DNA unzips to replicate itself, each new double helix containing half the parent. But how do we know that? An incredible experiment, conducted in the 1950s, proved how DNA replicated itself ...

Older DNA strands are preferentially sorted into stem cells when they self-renew (A). This segregates the DNA most recently replicated, and therefore most error-prone, into cells destined for ...

“This molecule is really unlike any other molecule that biologists have ever studied, before or since,” says Matthew S. Meselson, Thomas Dudley Cabot Professor of the Natural Sciences. The biologist’s ...

Consider, too, the research of two young postdocs — Matthew Meselson and Frank Stahl — in the years 1957–58, as they worked to find evidence for the semi-conservative form of DNA replication. Was this ...

Which books convey the excitement of the early years of molecular biology? Horace Freeland Judson's The Eighth Day of Creation published over twenty years ago succeeds as a vivid narrative, surveying ...

Meselson studierte Chemie an der University of Chicago und schloss sein Studium am California Institute of Technology (CalTech) ab. Er promovierte mit einer Arbeit über Röntgenkristallographie, eine ...

Matthew Meselson anticipated a lecture that night in 1954 when he heard Linus Pauling's slippety-slap footfall outside the lab. Meselson, then a graduate student in Pauling's lab at Caltech, had ...
