    The document summarizes the key differences between DNA and RNA. DNA uses the nucleotides adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine, while RNA uses adenine, uracil, guanine, and cytosine instead of thymine. DNA stores genetic information through its use of only four letters, using the base pairing rule where adenine pairs with thymine and guanine pairs with cytosine.
