Abstract
Within the nucleus, messenger RNA is generated and processed in a highly organized and regulated manner. Messenger RNA processing begins during transcription initiation and continues until the RNA is translated and degraded. Processes such as 50 capping, alternative splicing, and 30 end processing have been studied extensively with biochemical methods and more recently with single-molecule imaging approaches. In this review, we highlight how imaging has helped understand the highly dynamic process of RNA processing. We conclude with open questions and new technological developments that may further our understanding of RNA processing.
