The Process and Purpose of Gene Expression Regulation
Gene expression is a highly complex, regulated process that begins with DNA transcribed into RNA, which is then translated into protein.

Prokaryotes regulate gene expression by controlling the amount of transcription, whereas eukaryotic control is much more complex.
