Among the post-transcriptional processing steps of eukaryotic hnRNA (heterogeneous nuclear RNA, the primary transcript), 'tailing' refers specifically to the addition of about 200–300 adenylate (adenine nucleotide) residues at its 3' end, forming a poly-A tail. Unlike normal transcription, this addition occurs independently of the DNA template. Splicing (a) is the removal of introns and joining of exons, capping (c) is the addition of a …
