Nascent rna transcript

Freshly synthesized single-stranded RNA depicted as a thin, flexible, unpaired filament or ribbon extending from a polymerase-associated region. The strand is thinner and less rigid than DNA, with a smooth linear-to-gently wavy shape, loose bends, and a free tail-like end. Subtle nucleotide detail may be shown as small outward-facing bases, short tick marks, or a lightly textured ribose-phosphate backbone, optionally with labeled 5-prime and 3-prime ends. It is shown as a short- to medium-length uncapped transcript, typically colored red or orange, with no ribosomes attached.
