This chapter presents the concept of gene expression. The concept of the central dogma of molecular biology, formulated in the late 1950s by Francis Crick may be summarized as DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) →RNA (ribonucleic acid) →protein. Transcription is the process in which RNA is synthesized...
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 nonprotein coding genes such as rRNA genes or tRNA genes, the product ...

Given this statistic, it is not surprising that the primary control point for gene expression is usually at the very beginning of the protein production process — the initiation of transcription. RNA transcription makes an efficient control point because many proteins can be made from a single ...

The series of events associated with gene expression in higher organisms involves multiple levels of regulation and is often influenced by the presence or absence of molecules called transcription factors. These factors influence the fundamental level of gene control, which is the rate of transcription...

Moreover, upon sensing such changes, how does the egg "know" to change the expression of genes to alter the sex of the developing crocodile? Figure Detail Studies have shown that there is a specific point in the development of certain organisms, known as the thermosensitive period (TSP), ...
After examining mouse, rat and human breast cancer cells, they found that ZBP1 silencing occurs when a methyl group attaches to ZBP1's promoter region (the segment of a gene where gene expression is initiated). The attachment of methyl group prevents the promoter from binding to a protein ca...
