Summary of main results

The cartoon represents our model in various limits: no pausing ($r_p=0$), pausing ($r_p\ne 0$), stochastic elongation (T Erlang distributed), deterministic elongation (T fixed), bursty limit ($r,s_b\to \infty$), and premature RNAP detachment ($d,d_a,d_p\ne 0$). We summarise our analytical expressions for the approximate distributions and moments of total RNAP and mature RNA
