Non-protein coding RNAs are transcribed from [[DNA]] for the production of ribosomal RNA, transfer RNA, and small nuclear RNAs which serve various other functions in the cell. The biochemical process for transcription is similar to [[DNA replication]] in that it requires the action of multiple enzymes to unravel double-stranded genomic DNA, which allows an enzyme ([[polymerase]]) to processively catalyze the formation of a complementary strand based on proper [[nucleotide]] base pairing.
