Going beyond the central dogma of molecular biology: Rather than being a one-way street, DNA-directed RNA transcription may have profound adaptability

11 marzo 2015

The central dogma of molecular biology describes the flow of genetic information. It was first described by Francis Crick in 1956 as one-way traffic: as: «DNA makes RNA and RNA makes protein.» A recent paper, however, suggests that rather than being a one-way street, DNA-directed RNA transcription may have profound adaptability. The authors of the paper showed a conceptually novel relationship between the genotype (DNA) and the phenotype (the products of the transcription of DNA).
