The central dogma of molecular biology is transcription to translation to final protein replication. This will give you the order DNA to RNA to protein.

Here some examples for you:

1. Retroviruses (i.e. HIV) have a special enzyme called reverse transcriptase that makes DNA from RNA.

2. Non-coding RNAs are less known and more elaborate situations of the central dogma violations.

a. siRNA (short interfering RNA) initiantes something called RNA interference (RNAi) which can change someone's phenotype without directly producing proteins. siRNA and RNAi are a relatively new field of study that can result in corrections of gene errors.

well i don't think that there are cases when such a thing arises...but the best thing i can think of is that of a rna virus directing the synthesis of proteins right from its rna genome upon infecting a bacteria.
but that too doesn't actually qualify for a situation where the dogma isn't obeyed i.e if you follow that the dogma is dna->rna->protein and from rna back to dna by reverse transcription.

Most viral processes:
e.g.
Influenza viral infection: the virus hijacks your cellular machinery and produces nothing, but more flu virus.

HIV infection: hijacking of the cellular machinery to perform reverse transcription from RNA to DNA (RT) back to RNA

None of the viral infection processes produce protein, only more virus, which is either a product of RNA or DNA.

A virus is either DNA or RNA, ss or ds, + or -

Your questions are kind of surreal but cool.

How about when you know you're not supposed to go sin again after confession but you do anyway? Or you pick a different Priest to confess to because you don't want him to know you went ahead and did it again?
