For a cell to function properly, necessary proteins must be synthesized at the proper time. All cells control or regulate the synthesis of proteins from information encoded in their DNA. The …

A single gene can be subject to both positive and negative transcriptional control by different transcription factors, creating multiple layers of regulation. But some genes are not subject to …

In multicellular organisms such as ourselves, gene regulation allows for specialization among different cell types. A muscle cell and a skin cell contain a copy of the same chromosomes and …

This article looks at the many steps involved in controlling gene expression, from how tightly DNA is packed in the cell to how RNA is processed and proteins are made and modified.

Jul 22, 2025 · Gene regulation is the process by which cells control which genes are turned “on” or “off” at specific times. Like a stage director, cells activate only the genes necessary for their …
