Study Notes
Central Dogma of Molecular Biology
- The central dogma states that genetic information flows from DNA to RNA to proteins.
Discovery of the Central Dogma
- Francis Crick first stated the central dogma of molecular biology.
Information in the Central Dogma
- In the context of the central dogma, 'information' refers to the sequence of nucleotides that encode genetic instructions.
Information Transfer
- The central dogma states that information is never transferred from protein to protein, or from protein back to RNA or DNA.
Re-statement of the Central Dogma
- The central dogma of molecular biology was re-stated in a Nature paper in 1970.
