RNA Processing

RNA processing

How many eukaryotic RNA transcripts are modified before they are used.

Overview

EXPLORE BY LEVEL

Many RNA messages are edited and trimmed before they leave the nucleus. This helps create a mature message the cell can read.

RNA processing is co-transcriptional and regulated. Splice-site choice, RNA-binding proteins, transcript localization, and decay influence gene output.
