Synthetic Biology
Gene expression is the process by which the information encoded in a gene is translated into a functional product, typically a protein. This process involves two main stages: 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 synthesize proteins. In the context of synthetic biology, understanding gene expression is crucial for designing synthetic gene oscillators and toggle switches that can control cellular behavior.
