Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used to synthesize a functional gene product, usually a protein. This involves two main steps: transcription, where the DNA sequence of a gene is copied into messenger RNA (mRNA), and translation, where the mRNA is used as a template to build a protein. Proper regulation of gene expression is crucial for cellular function, development, and response to environmental signals.
