Line 1:

A '''primary transcript''' is an [[RNA]] molecule that has not yet undergone any [[post-transcriptional modification|modification]] after its [[transcription (genetics)|synthesis]]. For example, a [[precursor mRNA|precursor messenger RNA]] (pre-mRNA) is a primary transcript that becomes a [[messenger RNA]] (mRNA) after processing, and a primary microRNA transcript (pri-miRNA) becomes a [[microRNA]] (miRNA) after processing.
