Gene Expression

• Transcription is the process that involves the synthesis of complementary RNA from a DNA template.
• The modifications of pre-mRNA leading to the formation of mature mRNA or functional RNA are referred to as post-transcriptional modification.
• In the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology, the direction of information flow from nucleic acid to protein is DNA → RNA → Protein.
• The process by which different cells within the body express different portions of their DNA is called gene regulation.
• A functional gene product, such as a protein or functional RNA, synthesized through gene expression is referred to as a gene product.
• Post-transcriptional modification is the step of gene expression that involves the modifications of pre-mRNA leading to the formation of mature mRNA or functional RNA.
• The expression of genes encoding RNA ends with the formation of mature RNA or functional RNA.
• The process by which genetic information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product is called gene expression.
• In the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology, the direction of information flow from nucleic acid to nucleic acid is DNA → RNA.
• The precise determination of the sequence of bases in the nucleic acid or of amino acid residues in the protein is referred to as sequencing.
