  Genetics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The word genetics was first applied to describe the study of inheritance and the science of variation by English scientist William Bateson in a letter to Adam Sedgewick, dated April 18, 1905.
The foundational discipline is population genetics which studies the distribution of and change in allele frequencies of genes under the influence of the four evolutionary forces: natural selection, genetic drift, mutation and migration.
While molecular genetics studies the structure and function of genes at a molecular level, ecological genetics focuses on wild populations of organisms, and attempts to collect data on the ecological aspects of individuals as well as molecular markers from those individuals.

 Complementary DNA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In genetics, complementary DNA (cDNA) is DNA synthesized from a mature mRNA template.
The central dogma of genetics outlines that in synthesizing proteins, DNA is transcribed into mRNA, which is translated into protein.
By this mean, the central dogma of molecular biology is broken.

 Critical Genetics -- Barry Commoner - The Real Central Dogma
The Sequence Hypothesis is neatly symbolized by a straight line with arrows depicting the flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA and from RNA to protein, where, according to the Central Dogma, it stops.
Clearly, Crick's second hypothesis, the Central Dogma proper, is crucial to the explanatory power of the theory of molecular genetics.
The dire prophesy that Crick attached to the breaking of this taboo warns of the profound impact of depriving DNA of its genetic sovereignty.

 Central dogma of genetics - EvoWiki   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
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.

 Genes, Carbon Dioxide and Adaptation
The Central Dogma of the molecular geneticists, in their own words, was that information flows only from DNA to RNA, and from RNA to protein, never in the other direction.
The Central Dogma was formulated to suppress forever the Lamarckian idea of the inheritance of acquired characters, that Weismann's amputation of the tails of a multitude of mice had attempted to deal with earlier in the history of genetics.
Williams himself emphasized the importance of prenatal nutrition in disease prevention, so he wasn't a genetic totalitarian; combining the idea of unique genetic individuality with the recognition that malnutrition causes disease, led him to believe in the necessity for nutitional adequacy, rather than to the extermination of the sick, weak, or different individuals.

 Central Dogma of Molecular Biology
This is not the first time that the idea of the central dogma has been misunderstood, in one way or another.
The central dogma was put forward [4] at a period when much of what we now know in molecular genetics was not established.
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].

 Big Monkey, Helpy Chalk: Is the Central Dogma Dead Yet?
The Central Dogma of Genetics is the belief, formulated by Francis Crick, that information flows from DNA strand to DNA strand in replication, and from DNA to proteins in transcription and translation, but that it never flows from the environment into DNA or from protein to protein.
Explanations of the central dogma are always accompanied by illustrations like this.
Above all else, we are assured, the central dogma is not a dogma in the religious sense.
