RNA - One of two types of nucleic acids made by cells. RNA contains information copied from DNA (the other type of nucleic acid). Cells make several different forms of RNA, and each form has a specific role in the cell. Many forms of RNA have functions related to the manufacture of proteins. RNA is also the genetic material of some viruses instead of DNA. RNA can be made in the laboratory and used in research studies. Also called ribonucleic acid
