Gene expression is the process through which information from a gene is used to synthesize functional gene products, primarily proteins. This involves two main stages: transcription, where the DNA sequence of a gene is copied to produce messenger RNA (mRNA), and translation, where the mRNA is read by ribosomes to build proteins. The regulation of gene expression is crucial as it determines when and how much of a gene product is produced, impacting cellular functions and responses.
