RNA uses uracil (U) instead of thymine (T) and pairs A↔U, C↔G, G↔C, T↔A. There are two common ways to interpret the given DNA:

- If TCC and AGT are the coding (sense) DNA strand, mRNA is the same sequence with T → U:
- TCC → UCC
- AGT → AGU

- If TCC and AGT are the template (antisense) DNA strand, mRNA is the complementary sequence (with U for T):
- TCC → AGG
- AGT → UCA
