DNA to RNA Converter
Convert DNA sequences to RNA notation by replacing T with U.
DNA to RNA Converter
Paste a DNA sequence or FASTA record to generate RNA notation with T replaced by U.

Transcription Information
This tool treats the input as a coding DNA strand and replaces T with U. If you are using a template strand, check strand direction and complement rules separately.
Replacement used here
A → U
T → U
G → G
C → C
Example
Input DNA:
>sample_sequence
ATGGCATAAAGCTTGGCCTTAGC
ATGGCATAAAGCTTGGCCTTAGC
Output RNA:
AUGGCAUAAAGCUUGGCCUUAGC
Transcription Process
When using codon tables or RNA translation tools, DNA T is read as RNA U.
Key Points
- For a coding DNA strand, replacing T with U gives RNA notation.
- For a template strand, verify the complement and strand direction.
- Codon tables are commonly read in RNA notation using A/U/G/C.
- For translation, also check the reading frame and start codon.
Applications
Understanding DNA to RNA transcription is fundamental to many areas of molecular biology and genetics.
