The classical central dogma of molecular biology is that statement that DNA is transcribed into RNA and RNA is translated into protein.
There are exceptions to this rule. Some RNA sequences are reverse transcribed into DNA. Some RNA is functional on its own and is not translated into a protein. And, some proteins convert each other into new forms that are infectious and can spread (prions).
