Gene Targeting
Gene targeting is a method for modifying the structure of a specific gene without removing it from its natural environment in the chromosome in a living cell. This process involves the ...

Gene Regulation: Drugs
To understand the regulation of genes, the following sequence of events must be appreciated: A gene, made of DNA, is "transcribed" to produce a messenger RNA, or m...

Regulation Gene
Regulation genes are a type of gene that provides the instructions for creating proteins which help control the expression of other structural genes. They are a key part of the overall...

Gene Induction
Genes in somatic cell tissues are normally expressed only when their products are necessary for functional purposes or structural repair. They may be activated into expression, and then...

Gene Regulation
The regulation of the genes in prokaryotes and eukaryotes determines the cell's growth, differential development, and responses to changing conditions. In eukaryotes, for example, horm...

Gene Suppression
Genetic suppression is defined as the restoration of the wild-type phenotype in an organism that has a mutational alteration in a gene. Cells in which a suppressor mutation has acted ...
