Mathematical and Computational Methods in Molecular Biology
Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used to synthesize functional gene products, typically proteins, that play critical roles in cellular functions and development. This process involves multiple steps including transcription of DNA to mRNA and subsequent translation of mRNA into proteins, all of which are regulated by various mechanisms that determine when, where, and how much of a gene product is produced. Understanding gene expression is vital for studying biological processes, disease mechanisms, and the impacts of genetic variations.
