Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a nucleic acid consisting of a string of covalently-bound nucleotides. It is biochemically distinguished from DNA by the presence of an additional hydroxyl group, attached to each pentose ring, as well as by the use of uracil, instead of thymine. RNA transmits genetic information from DNA (via transcription) into proteins (by translation).
