The following information is about Gene Expression.

Gene Expression Defined

The process by which a gene's coded information is converted into the structures present and operating in the cell. Expressed genes include those that are transcribed into mRNA and then translated into protein, and those that are transcribed into RNA but not translated into protein (e.g., transfer and ribosomal RNAs).

This definition is in context to Drug Research. See more contextual defintions for Gene Expression.

Gene's novel role may provide key to treating liver and neurodegenerative diseases

Published July 3, 2009, 4:48 am, PhysOrg

Scientists at Singapore's Bioprocessing Technology Institute (BTI) have made a novel discovery about how the gene, "Fas-apoptosis inhibitory molecule" (FAIM), protects both immune and liver cells from apoptosis, or programmed cell death.

  • Cell - Nature, Nurture, or Chance: Stochastic Gene Expression and Its Consequences: Gene expression is a fundamentally stochastic process, with randomness in transcription and translation leading to cell-to-cell variations in mRNA and protein levels. This variation appears in organisms ranging from microbes to metazoans, and its characteristic s depend both on the biophysical parameters governing gene expression and on gene network structure. Stochastic gene expression has important consequences for cellular function, being beneficial in some contexts and harmful in others. These situations include the stress response, metabolism, development, the cell cycle, circadian rhythms, and aging.
