Is the hypothesis now generally referred to as "the central dogma" or is the name itself merely a bit of historical trivia? Also, is the term usually capitalized, The Central Dogma (as in the text of this article)? If so, then the article needs to be moved (click on "move") to The Central Dogma. --Larry Sanger 09:36, 28 January 2007 (CST)

The phrase comes up so much in current biology that the article is not just trivia, it will hellp many people understand the introductory text in various molecular biology and cell biolgy (and other) articles. I'm not sure, but I think it should be formatted in a title case.I'm not sure enough to move it, though. Nancy Sculerati MD 09:40, 28 January 2007 (CST)
