Function processRNA

Processes a pre-mRNA through the complete RNA processing pipeline to produce mature mRNA.

The pipeline performs these steps in order:

1. Add 5' methylguanosine cap
2. Splice out introns (join exons)
3. Find polyadenylation signal and cleavage site
4. Add 3' poly-A tail
5. Identify coding sequence boundaries
6. Return mature MRNA ready for translation

Example

const gene = new Gene(sequence, exons);
const preMRNA = transcribe(gene).unwrap();
const mRNA = processRNA(preMRNA).unwrap();

console.log(`Mature mRNA: ${mRNA.getCodingSequence()}`);
console.log(`Has cap: ${mRNA.hasFivePrimeCap()}`);
console.log(`Poly-A length: ${mRNA.getPolyATailLength()}`);
