{{Main|Post-transcriptional modification}}
Transcription, a highly regulated phase in gene expression, produces primary transcripts. However, transcription is only the first step which should be followed by many modifications that yield functional forms of RNAs.<ref name="Cooper GM">{{cite book| vauthors = Cooper GM |title=The Cell: A Molecular Approach |chapter=RNA Processing and Turnover |date=2000 | edition = 2nd |chapter-url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK9864/ |publisher= Sunderland (MA): Sinauer Associates; 2000}}</ref> Otherwise stated, the newly synthesized primary transcripts are modified in several ways to be converted to their mature, functional forms to produce different proteins and RNAs such as mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA.{{cn}}
