Linked from

The 16 pages that link to Central dogma of molecular biology, each with the reason it gives.

• Molecular biologyRelated: It provides a compact map of major information flows and their limits.

• Francis CrickBroader topic: Crick formulated this framework to describe directional information transfer in cells.

• Nucleic acidRelated: It distinguishes nucleic acid information flow from the protein products it helps produce.

• BiochemistryRelated: It summarizes how biochemical processes connect genes to cellular function.

• Reverse transcriptaseCompared with: Reverse transcription added a DNA-from-RNA route to the familiar information-flow scheme.

• Molecular geneticsRelated: It organized molecular genetics around information transfer while leaving room for exceptions.

• Reverse transcriptionCompared with: Reverse transcription added a DNA-from-RNA route without reversing protein-to-nucleic-acid information flow.

• Non-coding RNARelated: Non-coding RNAs expanded understanding of RNA function without overturning the core information-flow principle.

• David BaltimoreCompared with: Reverse transcription showed that genetic information can also flow from RNA back to DNA.

• Complementary DNANarrower topic: Reverse transcription makes cDNA by copying information in the reverse direction, from RNA to DNA.

• Inheritance of Acquired CharacteristicsRelated: It helped clarify why bodily changes do not ordinarily rewrite inherited DNA sequences.

• Double helixRelated: The helix became the molecular starting point for explaining gene expression.

• Alfred HersheyRelated: Evidence that DNA carries genetic information supported the molecular framework developed in the following decade.

• History of biochemistryRelated: It summarized how biochemical mechanisms express genetic information as cellular products.

• Jacques MonodRelated: Monod’s account of gene expression developed alongside broader efforts to explain molecular information flow.

• Marshall Warren NirenbergRelated: The genetic code supplied the translation rules within this information-flow framework.
