Gene expression
Gene expression
is the process by which information from a
gene
is used in the synthesis of a functional
gene product
. These products are often
proteins
, but in non-protein coding genes such as
transfer RNA (tRNA)
or
small nuclear RNA (snRNA)
genes, the product is a functional
RNA
. The process of gene expression is used by all known life -
eukaryotes
(including
multicellular organisms
),
prokaryotes
(
bacteria
and
archaea
), and utilized by
viruses
- to generate the
macromolecular
machinery for life.
