In the articles that follow, we’ll examine different forms of eukaryotic gene regulation. That is, we'll see how the expression of genes in eukaryotes (like us!) can be controlled at various stages, …

Understand how multiple layers of gene regulation shape cell function and development. Explore DNA and chromatin modifications, transcriptional regulation, and the influence of transcription …

However, there are also some meaningful differences in how transcription factors are used in humans. Humans and other eukaryotes are complex: we're made up of trillions of cells …

Translation (mRNA to protein) Overview of translation Retroviruses Differences in translation between prokaryotes and eukaryotes DNA replication and RNA transcription and translation …

In eukaryotic cells like photoreceptors, gene expression is often controlled primarily at the level of transcription. However, that doesn't mean transcription is the last chance for regulation.

In order to transform the information in genes into proteins, cells use a process called gene expression. Gene expression consists of two stages: transcription and translation.

There are various forms of gene regulation, that is, mechanisms for controlling which genes get expressed and at what levels. However, a lot of gene regulation occurs at the level of …

In the following articles, we'll take a more in-depth look at RNA polymerase, the stages of transcription, and the process of RNA modification in eukaryotes. We'll also consider some …

As a quick review, gene expression (the "reading out" of a gene to make a protein, or chunk of a protein) happens a little bit differently in bacteria and eukaryotes such as humans.
