Proteins can cause DNA alterations via chromosomal translocations.
If these occur in germ cells, the new sequences may transmit permanently to future generations.
Depending on the definition of "information transfer" and the willingness to consider methylation as information transfer, how would the Central Dogma view protein-induced chromosomal translocations?
- asdff 2y agoThe central dogma doesn’t consider them because it was developed before they were widely known. Its still useful because we don’t cover these topics that deviate from the central dogma terribly thoroughly until grad school where you might specialize in it, and finally read the corpus of seminal papers in that line of biology.
