gene process

Your fact selection, now listed in your lexicon.

Your fact selection is not listed in your lexicon, but it counts for ranking the facts.

the process by which inheritable information from a gene, such as the DNA sequence, is made into a functional gene product, such as protein or RNA

Several steps in the gene expression process may be modulated, including the transcription step and translation step and the 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 (actions) of the gene in the organism

Non-protein coding genes (e.g. rRNA genes, tRNA genes) are transcribed, but not translated into protein

Genes are expressed by being transcribed into RNA, and this transcript may then be translated into protein

The expression of many genes is regulated after transcription (i.e., by microRNAs or ubiquitin ligases), so an increase in mRNA concentration need not always increase expression

Regulation of gene expression is the cellular control of the amount and timing of appearance of the functional product of a gene

An expression system consists, minimally, of a source of DNA and the molecular machinery required to transcribe the DNA into mRNA and translate the mRNA into protein using the nutrients and fuel provided

Genes have sometimes been regarded as nodes in a network, with inputs being proteins such as transcription factors, and outputs being the level of gene expression

The node itself performs a function, and the operation of these functions have been interpreted as performing a kind of information processing within cell and determine cellular behaviour
