An RNA transcript is a molecule that carries a complementary copy of the genetic information encoded in DNA. In molecular biology, transcription is the process by which a segment of DNA is used as a template to synthesize an RNA molecule. The resulting RNA transcript is a single-stranded molecule that is complementary to the DNA template strand. There are different types of RNA transcripts, including messenger RNA (mRNA), which carries the information for protein synthesis; ribosomal RNA (rRNA), which forms part of the ribosome; and transfer RNA (tRNA), which helps in protein translation.
