primary transcript
(Science: molecular biology) rNA transcript immediately after transcription in the nucleus, before rNA splicing or polyadenylation to form the mature mRNA.

Primary transcript The unmodified RNA product of gene transcription before splicing has occurred.
Proband The affected member in a pedigree through whom the family came to medical / scientific attention.

Primary transcript: When a gene is transcribed in the nucleus, the initial product is the primary transcript, an RNA containing copies of all exons and introns.

All the primary transcripts produced in the nucleus must undergo processing steps to produce functional RNA molecules for export to the cytosol. We shall confine ourselves to a view of the steps as they occur in the processing of pre-mRNA to mRNA.

Newly synthesized mRNA molecules are known as primary transcripts or pre-mRNA.
