Central dogma of molecular biology - Replication

The central dogma of molecular biology was first enunciated by Francis Crick in 1958 and re-stated in a Nature paper published in 1970. The precise definition is: The central dogma of molecular biology deals with the detailed residue-by-residue transfer of sequential information. It states that such information cannot be transferred from protein to either protein or nucleic acid. In other words, ...

In his 1970 paper on the subject, Crick pointed out that the central dogma, while useful as a theory to guide experiment, was not to be taken as dogma: "Although the details of the classification proposed here are plausible, our knowledge of molecular biology, even in one cell -- let alone for all the organisms in nature -- is still far too incomplete to allow us to assert dogmatically that it is correct." - Francis Crick Since the 1970 paper, a number of facts have emerged suggesting the need for it to be restated:< ...
