In both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, the transcription of DNA into RNA represents the first stage in the process of gene expression (Chapters 2 and 6) and is the major control point regulating which genes are expressed (Chapters 3 and 7). However, in eukaryotes, the process of transcription is supplemented by a series of post-transcriptional events that are necessary to produce a functional mRNA that is able to be translated into protein ( Figure 8.1 ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
