'''Primary transcript''' is an [[RNA]] molecule that has not yet undergone any modification after its synthesis. After [[splicing]] the transcript forms [[mRNA|messenger RNAs]], [[ribosome|ribosomal RNA]]s, [[transfer RNA]]s, or [[ribozyme]]s. Primary transcripts of [[messenger RNA]]s are also called [[pre-mRNA]]s.
