Post-transcriptional modification 转录后修饰
(重定向自RNA processing)
Post-transcriptional modification or Co-transcriptional modification is a process in cell biology by which, in eukaryotic cells, primary transcript RNA is converted into mature RNA. A notable example is the conversion of precursor messenger RNA into mature messenger RNA (mRNA), which includes splicing and occurs prior to protein synthesis. This process is vital for the correct translation of the genomes of eukaryotes, including humans, because the primary RNA transcript that is produced, as a result of transcription, contains both exons, which are either coding sections of the transcript or are important sequences involved in translation, and introns, which are the non-coding sections of the primary RNA transcript.
