In eukaryotic cells, the synthezise of mRNA is followed by a process of maturation. The best-known modifications are the polyadenylation, the splicing and the capping. The cap is important to the traduction initiation ; it allows the mRNA to be recognized by initiation factors. It is also necessary to keep the stability of the mRNA.{{clear}}
