I wanted to see what this challenge was about, because I like these combinations of combined fields. So nice to see this come by!
But I am uncomfortable with the fact that this is not the correct way to code transcription (DNA to RNA). RNA is complementary to DNA because it is double-stranded: therefore GCAT should result in CGUA (on a side note: direction is also very important).

I'm curious if there is any particular reason why it is done in the way you described it?
