Messenger RNA 1 article

Messenger RNA is the protein-coding RNA intermediate that carries genetic information from transcribed DNA to ribosomes for translation. Mature mRNA typically contains a coding sequence together with untranslated regions, a 5-prime cap and a poly(A) tail that influence stability, localization and protein production. In biotechnology, mRNA can also be synthesized and delivered as a transient expression substrate. The tag denotes the RNA molecule class itself, not mRNA vaccines or other therapeutic products built from engineered transcripts.
