mRNA is produced by transcription -- copying genetic information from a DNA template strand into a complementary RNA strand.

In the central dogma of molecular biology, transcription is the process by which RNA polymerase reads a DNA template strand (3'->5') and synthesises a complementary, antiparallel mRNA strand (5'->3'), carrying the same sequence as the coding/sense strand of DNA (with U instead of T). Translation is a distinct, later process, in which ribosomes read the mRNA codons to assemble a polypeptide. Replication is …
