The first (primary) transcript from a protein coding gene is often called a pre-mRNA and contains both introns and exons. Pre-mRNA requires splicing (removal) of introns to produce the final mRNA molecule containing only exons. 2, record 1, English, - primary%20transcript

Ces séquences non codantes ont été appelées «introns», les séquences codantes étant appelées «exons», car elles sortent («exit» en anglais) du noyau pour être traduites dans le cytoplasme. Il y a donc une molécule d'ARN transcrite qui tout d'abord reprend la séquence entière des exons et des introns. Elle est appelée transcrit primaire ou pré-mRNA. 2, record 1, French, - transcrit%20primaire
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Le transcrit primaire correspond à une copie intégrale des exons et des introns d'un gène. 5, record 1, French, - transcrit%20primaire
