Popis:	We explore a Markov model used in the analysis of gene expression, involving the bursty production of pre-mRNA, its conversion to mature mRNA, and its consequent degradation. We demonstrate that the integration used to compute the solution of the stochastic system can be approximated by the evaluation of special functions. Furthermore, the form of the special function solution generalizes to a broader class of burst distributions. In light of the broader goal of biophysical parameter inference from transcriptomics data, we apply the method to simulated data, demonstrating effective control of precision and runtime. Finally, we suggest a non-Bayesian approach to reducing the computational complexity of parameter inference to linear order in state space size and number of candidate parameters. Comment: Body: 15 pages, 2 figures, 2 tables. Supplement: 10 pages, 1 figure
