post-transcriptional modification
Post-transcriptional modification refers to the changes made to an mRNA molecule after it has been transcribed from DNA. This can include processes such as splicing, capping, and polyadenylation, which can alter the stability, localization, and translation efficiency of the mRNA molecule. These modifications are crucial for regulating gene expression and producing functional proteins.
