TIME FROM DNA TO PROTEIN. “The average human gene is about 28,000 bases long, with only about 5% of it encoding for protein, which on an average is about 450 amino acids long. The major steps that take some time are: Transcription [DNA → pre-mRNA]: ~20min; Splicing [pre-mRNA → mature mRNA]: 5-10min; Transport [mRNA from nucleus to cytoplasm]: 10-30min; Translation [mRNA → Protein]: 90sec.”
