There is no such process. DNA cannot come from RNA unless it contains reverse transcriptase. However, there is a process that makes mRNA from a DNA strand. This process is called transcription.

The DNA molecule is split into two strands by the enzyme helicase. One strand is the sense strand and the other is the anti-sense strand. Then mRNA nucleotides pair with their complimentary DNA bases on the antisense strand. The enzyme RNA polymerase causes the mRNA nucleotides to bond with one another, forming a strand of mRNA.
