Given a DNA strand, return its RNA complement (per RNA transcription).
Both DNA and RNA strands are a sequence of nucleotides.
The four nucleotides found in DNA are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T).
The four nucleotides found in RNA are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and uracil (U).
Given a DNA strand, its transcribed RNA strand is formed by replacing each nucleotide with its complement:
G -> C
C -> G
T -> A
A -> U
Go through the setup instructions for JavaScript to install the necessary dependencies:
http://exercism.io/languages/javascript/installation
The provided test suite uses Jasmine. You can install it by opening a terminal window and running the following command:
npm install -g jasmine
Run the test suite from the exercise directory with:
jasmine rna-transcription.spec.js
In many test suites all but the first test have been marked "pending".
Once you get a test passing, activate the next one by changing xit to it.
