2. 
   gene expression
   The transcription of mRNA from the DNA sequence of a gene and the subsequent translation of that mRNA to give the protein gene product. Less strictly it can mean the transcription step alone.

3. 
   Gene expression
   Evidence or manifestation of a genetically controlled characteristic. All of the chromosomal genes in an organism are not active at all times. In a plant nucleus as little as 5% of the DNA may be producing protein at any one time.

5. 
   Gene expression
   Gene expression: The translation of information encoded in a gene into protein or RNA. Expressed genes include genes that are transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA) and then translated into protein, as well as genes that are transcribed into types of RNA such as transfer RNA (tRNA) and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) that are not translated into protein. Gene ...

6. 
   gene expression
   The full use of the information in a gene via transcription and translation leading to production of a protein and hence the appearance of the phenotype determined by that gene. Gene expression is assumed to be controlled at various points in the sequence leading to protein synthesis and this control is thought to be the major determinant of cellular differentiation in eukaryotes.

8. 
   Gene expression
   `Gene expression` is the process by which the inheritable information in a gene, such as the DNA sequence, is made into a functional gene product, such as protein or RNA. Several steps in the gene expression process may be modulated, including the transcription step and the post-translational modification of a protein. Gene regulation gives the cell control over structure and function, and is the basis for cellular differentiation, morphogenesis...

9. 
   gene expression
   The process by which a genes coded information is converted into the structures present and operating in the cell. Expressed genes include those that are transcribed into mRNA and then translated into protein and those that are transcribed into RNA but not translated into protein (e.g., transfer and ribosomal RNAs).

    genetic expression
    (from the article `cell`) The transcription of the genetic code from DNA to RNA, and the translation of that code from RNA into protein, exerts the greatest influence on the ... Not all genes in a cell are active in protein production at any given time. Gene action can be switched on or off in response to the cell`s stage of ... [2 r...
