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.

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.


"My mind was, that a dogma was an idea for which there was no resonable evidence" [1] (Francis Crick)

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.
