Central dogma:

The original postulate that genetic information can be transferred only from nucleic acid to nucleic acid and from nucleic acid to protein, that is from DNA to DNA from DNA to RNA and from RNA to protein (although information transfer from RNA to DNA was not excluded and is now known to occur [reverse transcription]). Transfer of genetic information from protein to nucleic acid never occurs.
