research on gene expression

Research on gene expression studies how the information in our genes is turned into functional products like proteins, which perform vital roles in our bodies. It helps scientists understand how genes are regulated—turned on or off—in different cells, tissues, or in response to environmental changes. This knowledge can reveal why certain diseases develop, identify potential targets for treatments, and inform personalized medicine. Advances in gene expression research improve our understanding of biology and health, enabling us to better diagnose, prevent, and treat various conditions based on how genes are actively used in the body.
