Transcription is the synthesis of a strand of RNA complementary to a DNA template. The processes of transcription can be subdivided into the stages of initiation, elongation, and termination. Initiation of transcription is dependent on an upstream (5') DNA region, that represents the initial binding site for RNA polymerase. The process of creating the initial transcript during transcription is more complex in eukaryotes than in prokaryotes, including the addition of a 5'7-mG cap and a 3'poly-A tail, to the pre-mRNA.
