Production of mature mRNA in Eukaryotes: Summary
With reference to the DNA sense strand (shown 5'
3', left to right), the primary hnRNA (heterogeneous
RNA) transcript (also shown 5'3',
left to right) of the DNA template
strand (not shown, but running 5'3',
right to left)
) is successively capped,
tailed,
and spliced
to produce a mature mRNA.
