Genes: Expression and Regulation
Chapter OverviewThis chapter presents an overview of the synthesis of RNA and proteins, the
two processes involved in gene expression. The last part of the chapter considers
a variety of mechanisms by which gene expression is regulated. The discussion
focuses on the control of transcription as most regulation of gene expression
occurs at this level. |
