Gene Expression

       Genes store information, and this can be used to code for protein molecules and RNA. Gene expression is the process by which the DNA is read to produce a specific protein or section of functional RNA. Cancer cells are cells that have lost the ability to differentiate – gene expression no longer happens. Each cell contains all of the genetic information; however it does not need to be expressed in each cell. For example, genes that code muscle proteins (like actin and myosin) are only expressed in…
