| Comments | The synthetic rates are about 5 kbp/min for Pol I and ~3kbp/min for Pol II/III, respectively, with average transcript lengths of ~13.5, ~15, and ~0.1 kb for Pol I, Pol II, and Pol III, respectively. In a typical proliferating human cell, these values correspond to approximately 20,000, 50,000, and 3,000 engaged Pol I, II, and III complexes, respectively. |
