Gene Regulation

Gene regulation is the process that regulates the timing, location, and quantity of gene expression. The process is carried out by a variety of mechanisms, such as regulatory proteins and chemical DNA alteration. Gene regulation is crucial to an organism's ability to respond to environmental changes.

Gene regulation. A significant amount of the cell's energy is spent to gene regulation, which is one of the cell's fundamental mechanisms for producing the transcripts that will eventually become proteins. It is also likely that a significant portion of the cell's genome is devoted to regulation, allowing for the fine-tuning of a cell's response to stress, organism development, or repair.
