  Central dogma of molecular biology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is not considered an exception to the central dogma since the sequence of the protein is unchanged.
They claim that an uncritical reading of the central dogma could inhibit novel approaches to understanding multicellular development of organisms as well as multicellular diseases; that the central dogma is often used as a reductionist research strategy that proceeds bottom up, attempting to explain all biological phenomena in molecular terms.
Although they don't dispute the very specific reading of the central dogma, these researchers claim that a reductionist research strategy may limit the understanding of complex systems that cannot be analyzed by their molecular interactions alone because of the combinatorial complexity involved (Werner 2005).

 Evolution: The Central Dogma
The paradigm of Molecular Biology is The Central Dogma.
The recently discovered "prions" indicates that there is in fact a mechanism for a type of protein replication, and this goes against the central dogma.
However, this central dogma of information flow is still upheld to some degree.

 Central Dogma of Molecular Biology - Wikipedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The Central Dogma of Molecular Biology, a term coined by Sir Francis Crick, states that the flow of genetic information is "DNA to RNA to protein".
With the discovery of reverse transcriptase in retroviruses, the central dogma was extended with "RNA to DNA".
The discovery of retroviruses, which transcribe RNA into DNA through the use of a special enzyme called reverse transcriptase has resulted in the modification of the Central Dogma to include an RNA->DNA pathway.

 Central Dogma of Molecular Biology
The central dogma was put forward [4] at a period when much of what we now know in molecular genetics was not established.
Because it was abundantly clear by that time that a protein had a well defined three dimensional structure, and that its activity depended crucially on this structure, it was necessary to put the folding-up process on one side, and postulate that, by and large, the polypeptide chain folded itself up.
Because these were all the possible transfers from protein, the central dogma could be stated in the form "once (sequential) information has passed into protein it cannot get out again" [4].

 Principles in Biology - Molecular biology of the gene
He proposed the central dogma of molecular biology that says that genetic information flows from DNA via RNA to proteins.
The central dogma of molecular biology had soon to be modified when it was discovered that some viruses contain RNA instead of DNA in their genome, and that they are able to make a DNA copy after successfully infecting a host cell.
Today, the central dogma means that genetic information flows from nucleic acid to nucleic acid, and from nucleic acid to protein, but never from protein to nucleic acid.

 Central dogma of genetics - EvoWiki   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The central dogma, which with a few rare but notable exceptions has been confirmed, proves that Evolution does not proceed in a teleological "directed" way, as proposed by Lamarck in the 19th century, and considered possible by many biologists before the 1950s (including Charles Darwin).
The most notable exception to the central dogma is reverse transcription, in which RNA encodes DNA.
Prions are another exception to the central dogma.

 Death of the Central Dogma
The Central Dogma goes hand in glove with the other dogma of biology, the neo-Darwinian theory of evolution by natural selection, which says that the genetic material mutate at random, and individuals which happen to have good genes leave more offspring, just as individuals with bad genes are weeded out.
But, collected in one freely accessible central database, it is very good for research that exposes the poverty of the genetic determinism ideology that has led to the creation of the database in the first place.
The evidence against the Central Dogma has piled up to such an extent that rumblings of "challenging the dogma" and "a new theory is needed to replace the central dogma" can even be heard in the mainstream scientific journals.

 Complementary DNA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The central dogma of molecular biology outlines that in synthesizing proteins, DNA is transcribed into mRNA, which is translated into protein.
One difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic mRNA is that eukaryotic mRNA can contain introns (intervening sequences), which are not coding sequences, per se, and must be spliced out of the mRNA before it is translated into protein.
Note that the central dogma of molecular biology is not broken in this process.

Dogma after dogma has fallen in biology in the last thirty years.
The central dogma-that one gene produces only one protein-died in the last decade with the discovery of alternate splicing.
The paucity of hypotheses in biological science may be something of an intellectual crime, perpetrated by academics protecting their own fiefdoms against assault by barbarian unbelievers-hardly an atmosphere in which to raise and tutor new generations of biologists.

The sequence of events outlined by the Central Dogma is elegant in its simplicity, but it has taken the combined efforts of hundreds of scientists and researchers throughout the course of the twentieth century to complete this picture.
The process involved in going from DNA through RNA to protein is now considered to be one of the most fundamentally important concepts in biology.

 Chapter 15: The Central Dogma - Introduction
The Central Dogma of modern biology is the conversion of the genetic message in DNA to a functional mRNA (transcription) and subsequent conversion of the copied genotype to a phenotype in the form of proteins.
The process of conversion of a mRNA to a functional protein is known as translation.
It must be performed on an independent basis, since the extensive time commitment does not lend itself to typical laboratory periods.

 Visualizing the Central Dogma of Molecular Genetics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The central dogma of molecular biology states that information encoded in DNA is transcribed into RNA; RNA is subsequently translated into an amino acid sequence; and the amino acid sequence is modified and folded into a functional protein.
Although errors may occur at any of these steps, it is only the changes (mutations) in the DNA sequence that are inherited.

 The Central Dogma - Introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The "central dogma" in biology holds that DNA sequence is transcribed into RNA sequence which is then translated into amino acid sequence (and, ultimately, to protein structure and function).
This process, known as gene expression, can seem like an extremely complex process to those who are unfamiliar with it.
Much of the information provided here can also be found in good molecular biology textbooks.
