# skbio.sequence.DNA.transcribe

DNA.transcribe()

  Transcribe DNA into RNA.

  State: Stable as of 0.4.0.

  DNA sequence is assumed to be the coding strand. Thymine (T) is replaced with uracil (U) in the transcribed sequence.

  Returns

    Transcribed sequence.

  Return type

    RNA

  Notes

  DNA sequence’s metadata, positional, and interval metadata are included in the transcribed RNA sequence.

  Examples

  Transcribe DNA into RNA:

      >>> from skbio import DNA
      >>> dna = DNA('TAACGTTA')
      >>> dna
