Genomic Expression

Meaning

Genomic Expression, often referred to as gene expression, is the fundamental biological process by which the information encoded in a gene’s DNA sequence is converted into a functional gene product, typically a protein or a functional RNA molecule. This process is highly regulated, determining which genes are active in which cells at any given time, thereby defining cellular function and overall physiology. In the context of hormonal health, understanding genomic expression patterns helps to explain individual differences in hormone metabolism, receptor sensitivity, and therapeutic response. Environmental and lifestyle factors can profoundly influence these expression patterns through epigenetic modifications.
