  2. Primary transcript - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_transcript

    Pre-mRNA is synthesized from a DNA template in the cell nucleus by transcription. Pre-mRNA comprises the bulk of heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA). Once pre-mRNA has been completely processed, it is termed "mature messenger RNA", or simply "messenger RNA". The term hnRNA is often used as a synonym for pre-mRNA, although, in the strict sense ...

  3. Cryptic unstable transcript - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptic_unstable_transcript

    The transcription start sites of CUTs are located within nucleosome free, non-overlapping transcript pairs. [4] These nucleosome free regions of the genome have been frequently correlated with the promoter regions of open reading frames and mRNA transcripts, indicating that a portion of CUTs are located within bidirectional promoters.

  4. Messenger RNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messenger_RNA

    A 5' cap (also termed an RNA cap, an RNA 7-methylguanosine cap, or an RNA m 7 G cap) is a modified guanine nucleotide that has been added to the "front" or 5' end of a eukaryotic messenger RNA shortly after the start of transcription. The 5' cap consists of a terminal 7-methylguanosine residue that is linked through a 5'-5'-triphosphate bond to ...

  5. Mature messenger RNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mature_messenger_RNA

    Unlike the eukaryotic RNA immediately after transcription known as precursor messenger RNA, [1] mature mRNA consists exclusively of exons and has all introns removed. The Maturation of mRNA. Mature mRNA is also called "mature transcript", "mature RNA" or "mRNA". The production of a mature mRNA molecule occurs in 3 steps: [2] [3] Capping of the ...

  7. Polyadenylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyadenylation

    The 5′ end is the part of the RNA molecule that is transcribed first, and the 3′ end is transcribed last. The 3′ end is also where the poly(A) tail is found on polyadenylated RNAs. [1] [9] Messenger RNA (mRNA) is RNA that has a coding region that acts as a template for protein synthesis (translation).

  8. RNA splicing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_splicing

    RNA splicing is a process in molecular biology where a newly-made precursor messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) transcript is transformed into a mature messenger RNA ().It works by removing all the introns (non-coding regions of RNA) and splicing back together exons (coding regions).

  9. Bacterial transcription - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_transcription

    Bacterial transcription is the process in which a segment of bacterial DNA is copied into a newly synthesized strand of messenger RNA (mRNA) with use of the enzyme RNA polymerase. The process occurs in three main steps: initiation, elongation, and termination; and the result is a strand of mRNA that is complementary to a single strand of DNA.
