    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.
