Is biology's 'central dogma' wrong?
Original: Is biology’s ‘central dogma’ wrong?
Cambridge University's student newspaper Varsity is questioning biology's 'central dogma' — the long-standing principle that genetic information flows one way, from DNA to RNA to protein. The article examines evidence suggesting the rule may be more nuanced than textbooks claim, reigniting debate among students and scientists about how strictly the classic model of molecular biology should be taught and understood.
Why now: A student science article is challenging a foundational principle of molecular biology, prompting discussion about whether established textbook orthodoxy holds up.
