# RNA Transcription
|
|
|
|
Given a DNA strand, return its RNA complement (per RNA transcription).
|
|
|
|
Both DNA and RNA strands are a sequence of nucleotides.
|
|
|
|
The four nucleotides found in DNA are adenine (**A**), cytosine (**C**),
|
|
guanine (**G**) and thymine (**T**).
|
|
|
|
The four nucleotides found in RNA are adenine (**A**), cytosine (**C**),
|
|
guanine (**G**) and uracil (**U**).
|
|
|
|
Given a DNA strand, its transcribed RNA strand is formed by replacing
|
|
each nucleotide with its complement:
|
|
|
|
* `G` -> `C`
|
|
* `C` -> `G`
|
|
* `T` -> `A`
|
|
* `A` -> `U`
|
|
|
|
* * * *

[exercism help page](http://exercism.io/languages/ruby).
|
|
|
|
For running the tests provided, you will need the Minitest gem. Open a
|
|
terminal window and run the following command to install minitest:
|
|
|
|
gem install minitest
|
|
|
|
If you would like color output, you can `require 'minitest/pride'` in
|
|
the test file, or note the alternative instruction, below, for running
|
|
the test file.
|
|
|
|
Run the tests from the exercise directory using the following command:
|
|
|
|
ruby rna_transcription_test.rb
|
|
|
|
To include color from the command line:
|
|
|
|
ruby -r minitest/pride rna_transcription_test.rb
|
