mRNA Processing
Eukaryotic pre-mRNA receives a 5' cap and a 3' poly (A) tail before introns are removed and the mRNA is considered ready for translation.
Processing of tRNAs and rRNAs
rRNA and tRNA are structural molecules that aid in protein synthesis but are not themselves translated into protein.
