	== Comparison between RNA and DNA figure ==

	I don't like the recently added figure. The main difference between RNA and DNA are the hydroxyl groups on RNA. The figure does not show them and implies the only differences are uracil <-> thymine, and that RNA is single-stranded, which is not universally true. ] like many other viruses has a genome of double-stranded RNA. True, it's a pretty picture, but it's wrong. ] (]) 19:19, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

	The main difference of RNA and DNA is that, RNA is single stand while DNA is double stand or double helix structure and it contains hydrogen bonding between them . RNA stands for ribo nucleic acid while DNA stands for deoxyribo nucleic acid, I other words RNA contain ribose sugar while DNA contain deoxyribo sugar. ] (]) 09:21, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

(comment from August 2005)

I wanted sdto look up RNA in the wikipedia thinking that it would be able to give me a good starting point to understanding it. However, what I got was what's posted which tells me absolutely nothing as a newbie to genetics. Could someone please lay some ground rules about this kind of thing. It seems to me that since you can put lots of links in the definition of an entry, the entry loses it's coherence for someone like me. I think a good rule for wikipedia entries is that there should only be 3 links allowed in the opening general description paragraph of an article.

basically DNA the instructions for are organisms is found in the nucleus. however it can not leave the nucleus so when "instructions" need to be send out, part of the DNA is unraveled and copied. dna is made of four base pairs. i shall use just the letters A, T, C ang G. amazing yes that all life is described in changing patterns of these. A always pairs with T and C with G. because DNA is two strands. when copying dna the two strands are unraveled and one side is copied because if know one side you know the other. RNA bases (the same as DNA bases except use U instead of T) go into the nucleus and bind to the complimentary DNA bases. They then polymerise into the RNA strand. This is transcription. If it is a mRNA then it is later translated into protein.

that is the most basic explaination without getting into virii and other things.

Mention meaning of ssRNA

This article currently does not mention the meaning of ssRNA even though ssRNA redirects to it. I propose to add a brief description that "ssRNA" stands for single-stranded RNA. Somerandomuser (talk) 22:52, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Proposed expansion/clarification of Regulatory RNA section

I am in a Fellows class, just learning Misplaced Pages editing. I'm a retired professor with a Yale PhD in genetics and I've published a text on Molecular Genetics. I think that there are several types of regulatory RNA now known that deserve a clearer exposition of their characteristics. I've had conversation with some others about a disambiguation page to let people who enter "Regulatory RNA" get a choice and not just be sent to RNA interference. It is the only regulatory RNA system recognized with a Nobel prize to date, but there are also long noncoding RNAs like Xist and enhancer RNAs as well as riboswitches, CRISPR, and small bacterial RNAs. I have taken a copy of this section into my sandbox to work on. Ideas, comments welcome. LLMHoopes (talk) 03:51, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
