**What it does**

This tool converts RNA FASTA files to DNA (and vice-versa).

In **RNA-to-DNA** mode, U's are changed into T's.

In **DNA-to-RNA** mode, T's are changed into U's.

--------

**Example**

Input RNA FASTA file ( from Sanger's mirBase )::

    >cel-let-7 MIMAT0000001 Caenorhabditis elegans let-7
    UGAGGUAGUAGGUUGUAUAGUU
    >cel-lin-4 MIMAT0000002 Caenorhabditis elegans lin-4
    UCCCUGAGACCUCAAGUGUGA
    >cel-miR-1 MIMAT0000003 Caenorhabditis elegans miR-1
    UGGAAUGUAAAGAAGUAUGUA

Output DNA FASTA file (with RNA-to-DNA mode)::

    >cel-let-7 MIMAT0000001 Caenorhabditis elegans let-7
    TGAGGTAGTAGGTTGTATAGTT
    >cel-lin-4 MIMAT0000002 Caenorhabditis elegans lin-4
