Term Name: RNA biosynthetic process
Synonyms: double-stranded RNA biosynthesis, double-stranded RNA biosynthetic process, dsRNA biosynthesis, dsRNA biosynthetic process, RNA anabolism, RNA biosynthesis, RNA formation, RNA synthesis
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.
