General Information
Term RNA biosynthetic process ID (Ontology) GO:0032774 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of RNA, ribonucleic acid, one of the two main type of nucleic acid, consisting of a long, unbranched macromolecule formed from ribonucleotides joined in 3',5'-phosphodiester linkage. Includes polymerization of ribonucleotide monomers. Refers not only to transcription but also to e.g. viral RNA replication.
Also Known As"RNA anabolism" ; "RNA biosynthesis" ; "RNA formation" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
