- Regulation of gene expression - Gene modulation redirects here. For information on therapeutic regulation of gene expression, see therapeutic gene modulation.
- Locus Control Region - Locus Control Regions (LCR) are defined by their ability to enhance the expression of linked genes to physiological levels in a tissue-specific and copy number-dependent manner at ectopic chromatin sites. The concept that developmental and cell lineage-specific regulation of gene expression relies not only on gene-proximal elements such as promoters, enhancers, and silencers, but also on long-range interactions of various cis regulatory elements and dynamic chromatin alterations.
- RNA interference - RNA interference (also called "RNA-mediated interference", abbreviated RNAi) is a mechanism for RNA-guided regulation of gene expression in which double-stranded ribonucleic acid inhibits the expression of genes with complementary nucleotide sequences. Conserved in most eukaryotic organisms, the RNAi pathway is thought to have evolved as a form of innate immunity against viruses and also plays a major role in regulating development and ...
- Anti-sigma factors - In the regulation of gene expression in prokaryotes, anti-sigma factors bind to sigma factors and inhibit their transcriptional activity. Anti-sigma factors have been found in Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and T4 bacteriophage.
- Interferon regulatory factors - Interferon regulatory factors are proteins which play a role in the regulation of gene expression.
