Overview
Gene expression is the process by which the instructions encoded in a gene’s DNA sequence are converted into a protein molecule that has a specific function within the cell. This process is the basis of all cellular life, and is essential for the functioning of organisms. By regulating gene expression, organisms are able to control which proteins are produced and in what amounts, allowing them to respond to changes in their environment and respond to internal signals. Manipulating gene expression has many important applications in biotechnology, medicine, and agriculture, as it can be used to produce specific proteins, regulate developmental processes, and to increase the expression of beneficial traits, such as disease-resistance in crops.
