In this article we will discuss about the regulation of gene expression in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The DNA of a microbial cell consists of genes, a few to thousands, which do not express at the same time. At a particular time only a few genes express and synthesize the desired protein. The other genes remain silent at this moment and [...]

Let us make an in-depth study of the gene expression regulation. After reading this article you will learn about 1. Regulation of Gene Expression in Prokaryotes and 2. Regulation of Gene Expression in Eukaryotes. Gene is a part of DNA that specifies a protein/RNA. All the proteins/RNA are not required by the cell all the time. Some proteins are required [...]
