Definition of Gene expression Gene expression: The translation
of information encoded in a gene into protein or RNA structures
that are present and operating in the cell. Expressed genes
include genes that are transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA) and
then translated into protein, as well as genes that are
transcribed into RNA, such as transfer and ribosomal RNAs, but
not translated into protein.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary
