Balance RNA production and breakdown
Change transcription and RNA degradation. Watch how mRNA abundance approaches a steady state.
mRNA abundance (arbitrary units)
Model & assumptions
dm/dt = s − dm; m(t) = (s/d)(1 − e⁻ᵈᵗ)
Idealized constant transcription and first-order degradation, starting with no mRNA. Translation, cell division, and regulatory feedback are not modeled.
