摘 要:In a recently published article Sydney Brenner argued that the most relevant scientific revolution in biology at his time was the breakthrough of the role of information in *** fundamental concept that integrates this new biological information with matter and energy is the universal Turing machine and von Neumann s self-reproducing *** this article we demonstrate that in contrast to Turing/von Neumann machines living cells can really reproduce *** current knowledge on the roles of noncoding RNAs indicates a radical violation of the central dogma of molecular biology and opens the way to a new revolution in life sciences.
