Systems Biology
Gene expression is the process through which the information encoded in a gene is used to synthesize functional gene products, typically proteins, that perform various roles within a cell. This process is crucial for cellular functions and differentiation, and it links genetic information to phenotype. Understanding gene expression involves various mechanisms such as transcription, translation, and regulatory elements that control when and how genes are expressed in response to internal and external signals.
