For nearly 50 years, the central dogma of biology has been that genetic information is contained within DNA and is passed by rote transcription through RNA to make proteins. [The central dogma is being eroded](http://www.seedmagazine.com/news/2008/01/redefining%5Fgenes.php?ref=protein.xyz), and it now appears as if DNA's cousin, the humble intermediary RNA, plays at least an equal role in genetics and the evolution of the species.
