Information is still the Universal Code of DNA triplet to Amino Acid in sequence by sequence.

Okay, so now you have updated the Central Dogma from DNA->RNA->Protein to DNA->RNA->Amino Acid. This works, but it is a modified definition that has to account for the information encoding for a protein spread out and overlapping on multiple chromosomes. The point is not that the basic Central Dogma Definition on its surface is wrong, but the assumptions Crick depends upon to arrive at the Central Dogma have crumbled to the point of needing to redefine basic genetics like what a "protein encoding gene" is, or if it exists as anything more than an abstract concept.

BTW, thanks for referring to the article in question I had the feeling we were discussing something else for a while.

A protein is made up of a sequence of Amino Acids so there is no difference between DNA->RNA->Protein and DNA->RNA->Amino Acid.

Not all genes for a protein are spread out over overlapping and multiple chromosomes.

The assumptions of Crick still stand. The Central Dogma has been validated and is not crumbling.

The concept of what a protein coding gene is has become more complex, but it is STILL EXACTLY what Crick said it was; information in nucleic acid that specifies an Amino Acid. It is not an abstract concept, it is a REAL phenomenon, it is just not as simple in complex animals as it is in bacteria because of splicing (possibly from distal sequences even on different chromosomes) and the possible intervention of regulatory RNA.
