The RNA-nucleotide U(dacil) shouldn't be treated specially.

So back to nucleotides. -There are 5 types of nucleotides. 4 of these occur in DNA: `A`, `C`, `G`, and `T`. 4 occur in RNA: `A`, `C`, `G`, `U`. - -There are no other nucleotides. +DNA contains four types of them: adenine (`A`), cytosine (`C`), guanine (`G`), and thymine (`T`). +RNA contains a slightly different set of nucleotides but we don't care about that for now.
