In a cell, what carries information regularly from Miranda (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mrna

'in a cell what carries information' is the definition.
(abbreviation for messenger ribonucleic acid)

'regularly from miranda' is the wordplay.
'regularly from' means one should take alternating letters (letters selected at regular intervals).
The alternate letters of 'miranda' are 'MRNA'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
