Term Information

Accession
GO:0032774
Name
RNA biosynthetic process
Ontology
biological_process
Synonyms
RNA anabolism, RNA biosynthesis, RNA formation, RNA synthesis, double-stranded RNA biosynthesis, double-stranded RNA biosynthetic process, dsRNA biosynthesis, dsRNA biosynthetic process
Alternate IDs
GO:0062103
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. Source: GOC:mah, GOC:txnOH
Comment
Note that, in some cases, viral RNA replication and viral transcription from RNA actually refer to the same process, but may be called differently depending on the focus of a specific research study.
