Embryonic development is a well - studied process in which
the precise regulation of gene expression is critical, since many genes are expressed simultaneously and in a punctual manner.
At the nucleic acid level, understanding
the precise regulation of genes through analysis of gene expression data will be of utmost importance.
Not exact matches
One is straightforward — during development, cells are assuming their identities and need
precise control over protein production, so cells lacking a
gene expression
regulation mechanism are bound to have defects, particularly in the case
of specialized cells like neurons.
Researchers have identified a host
of factors involved in epigenetic control
of gene expression and development, but many
of the
precise mechanisms underlying this type
of regulation remain unclear.
