<p>The pre-mRNA processing at the 3' end of the RNA molecule involves cleavage of its 3' end and then the addition of about 250 <a href="page.php?w=adenine">adenine</a> residues to form a <a href="page.php?w=poly%28A%29_tail">poly(A) tail</a>. The cleavage and adenylation reactions occur primarily if a <a href="page.php?w=polyadenylation">polyadenylation signal sequence</a></p><p>
