Molecular Biology - RNA

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a long chain of nucleotides, similar in structure to one strand of DNA. One difference is that in RNA, thymine is replaced by its less-stable, unmethylated form, uracil. RNA molecules are constructed during a process called transcription. Transcription assembles RNA based on the sequence of bases on a DNA molecule.
