Editing Gene Regulation (section)

== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> ==
* '''Gene Expression''' — The process by which information from a gene is used to synthesize a functional gene product (like a protein).
* '''Transcription Factor''' — A protein that binds to specific DNA sequences to control the rate of transcription (the "Switch").
* '''Promoter''' — The region of DNA where the cell's machinery "Lifts Off" to start reading a gene.
* '''Enhancer''' — A DNA sequence that can be far away from a gene but "Loops Over" to boost its expression.
* '''Operon''' — A group of genes that are regulated together as a single unit (common in bacteria).
* '''RNA Interference (RNAi)''' — A biological process where RNA molecules inhibit gene expression by neutralizing targeted mRNA.
* '''Repressor''' — A protein that binds to DNA to "Block" transcription (the "Brake").
* '''Inducer''' — A molecule that "Starts" gene expression by disabling a repressor.
* '''Methylation''' — Adding a chemical "Cap" to DNA that usually silences a gene.
