1. gene expression

   Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used to create a functional product, typically proteins. This process involves transcribing the DNA sequence of a gene into RNA (transcription) and then translating this into a protein (translation). Gene expression is how genes exert their effects on the phenotype, or physical traits, of an organism, and it can be influenced by a variety of factors both internal and external to the organism.

1. Gene expression

   Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product. These products are often proteins, but in non-protein coding genes such as ribosomal RNA, transfer RNA or small nuclear RNA genes, the product is a functional RNA. The process of gene expression is used by all known life - eukaryotes, prokaryotes, possibly induced by viruses - to generate the macromolecular machinery for life. Several steps in the gene expression process may be modulated, including the transcription, RNA splicing, translation, and post-translational modification of a protein. Gene regulation gives the cell control over structure and function, and is the basis for cellular differentiation, morphogenesis and the versatility and adaptability of any organism. Gene regulation may also serve as a substrate for evolutionary change, since control of the timing, location, and amount of gene expression can have a profound effect on the functions of the gene in a cell or in a multicellular organism. In genetics, gene expression is the most fundamental level at which the genotype gives rise to the phenotype. The genetic code stored in DNA is "interpreted" by gene expression, and the properties of the expression give rise to the organism's phenotype. Such phenotypes are often expressed by the synthesis of proteins that control the organism's shape, or that act as enzymes catalysing specific metabolic pathways characterising the organism.

Examples of gene expression in a Sentence

1. Dean Ornish:

   Because they all share the same underlying biological mechanisms: chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, changes in the microbiome, changes in gene expression, overstimulation of the sympathetic nervous system, changes in immune function and so on, and in turn, each one of these is directly influenced by what we eat, how we respond to stress, how much exercise we get and how much love and support we have.

2. Marc Sabatine:

   Mothers with certain dietary habits and higher cholesterol levels tend to raise children with those same tendencies, another possibility is that cholesterol levels at the time of pregnancy influence long-term gene expression.
