Cell atlas of the human ovary published
Researchers have developed the first-ever spatial map of all the different cell types that make up the human ovary...
Gene expression is the process of converting the information contained in a gene into the gene product. The DNA of the gene is first transcribed into RNA, which is then either translated into a protein or remains as an RNA molecule. The expression level of a particular gene can be turned ’up’ or ‘down’ in different cells at different times, as required.
