The central dogma of molecular biology refers to the concent put forward by Francis Crick that information flow in the cell goes from DNA to messenger RNA to protein.
See discussion in Chapter 7. Horace Freeland Judson (1979). The Eight Day of Creation: Makers of the Revolution in Molecular Biology. ISBN 0140178007.
Famously, Crick seems to have misunderstood the precise meaning of the word dogma whem formulating his brilliant hypothesis of how genes determine the order of amino acid residues in proteins via RNA intermediates.
