Today we started chapter 11, on RNA processing, the fifth "stop" in our roadmap.
We mentioned the most basic processes through which RNA is modified (base modification, cleavage, and splicing) and described the more complex processes that are specific to eukaryotic RNA (5' capping and 3' polyadenylation).
We discussed in more detail the steps through which introns are spliced out the pre-mRNA molecule, and introduced the concept of alternative splicing.
