Regulation of Gene Expression
Gene Expression refers to whether a not a gene is "turned on" and produces a product. It can be controlled at many stages of DNA transcription and translation. Prokaryotic gene expression and eukaryotic gene expression do share some aspects, but also contrast. |
One way to regulate a gene is by splicing.
