🧬 RNA Editor: Post-Transcriptional Dash

Raw pre-mRNA has just been transcribed, but it is not ready for the ribosome yet! You must process it into mature mRNA before exporting it to the cytoplasm.

• 🎩 1. Add 5' Cap: Protects the transcript from exonucleases. Look for the glowing G.
• ✂️ 2. Splice Introns: Cut out the red, non-coding Intron blocks so the blue Exons snap together.
• 🧵 3. Add Poly-A Tail: Add the string of Adenines to the 3' end for stability.
• 🚨 EXAM TRAP / GAME OVER: Do not hit "EXPORT" until the mRNA is perfect! If it lacks a cap, tail, or still contains introns, it will be destroyed in the cytoplasm!
