Gene expression is the process by which the inheritable information in a gene, such as the DNA sequence, is made into a functional gene product, such as protein or RNA.
Gene Expression
Gene expression is the process by which the information encoded in a gene is used to direct the assembly of a protein molecule. The cell reads the sequence of the gene in groups of three bases.
Gene Expression.
When genes are expressed, the genetic information (base sequence) on DNA is first transcribed (copied) to a molecule of messenger RNA in a process similar to DNA replication.
Gene expression in eukaryotes is controlled by a variety of mechanisms that range from those that prevent transcription to those that prevent expression after the protein has been produced.
Monitoring gene expression in yeast shows that different combinations of transcription factors participate in turning on (and off) entire sets of genes (reported by Holstege, F. C. P., et al, in Cell, 25 November 1998.

Three hours after m1 mAChR activation a different pattern of gene expression was demonstrated. It included the novel genes Gig-3 and Gig-4, as well as the LIM-only protein LM04.
Gene expression analysis
The expression of many genes can be determined by measuring mRNA levels with multiple techniques including microarrays, expressed cDNA sequence tag (EST) sequencing, ...
Gene expression
The process by which a a gene product is produced. For genes that encode proteins, the gene must be transcribed into mRNA and then translated into protein.
Gene expression: The process by which genes express themselves: in the cell, ge ne expression results in the manufacture of proteins that determine an organism's characteristics.
Gene expression. The process of producing a protein from its DNA- and mRNA-coding sequences.
Gene flow. The exchange of genes between different but (usually) related populations.
Examining Gene Expression
Understanding the functions of genes depends on knowing when and in what cells they are each expressed. How can one measure the amount of mRNA transcribed from a gene in a particular cell type?
