The central dogma of molecular biology is a framework for understanding the flow of genetic information within a biological system. It was first articulated by Francis Crick in 1958 and has since become a fundamental concept in molecular biology. The central dogma describes the process by which the information in genes flows into proteins: DNA → RNA → Protein. | The central dogma of molecular biology is a framework for understanding the flow of genetic information within a biological system.
