General Information
Term	RNA capping	ID (Ontology)	GO:0036260 (Gene Ontology)
Definition	The sequence of enzymatic reactions by which a cap structure is added to the 5' end of nascent RNA polymerase transcripts. Examples of RNA capping include 7-methyl-G caps found on all RNA polymerase II transcripts and nucleotide-containing cofactor caps, such as NAD(H) or FAD, found on bacterial trancripts.[ PubMed:18775984 PubMed:27383794 PubMed:29681497 PubMed:30353673 ]
