Gene expression
Gene expression: the process by which a gene's DNA information is turned into function via transcription to RNA and translation to protein; regulated by transcription factors and epigenetics, and measured by RT-qPCR, microarray, RNA-Seq, and spatial transcriptomics.
Gene expression profiling
Gene expression profiling, also known as expression profiling, is a molecular biology method that measures mRNA levels of many genes at once, using microarrays or RNA sequencing.
Gene expression programming
Gene expression programming (GEP) is an evolutionary algorithm, invented by Cândida Ferreira in 1999, that evolves computer programs by translating linear chromosomes into expression trees.
Gene Farris
Gene Farris is an American house music DJ and producer from Chicago, active since 1994, who founded Farris Wheel Recordings and collaborated with Green Velvet on the 2019 Beatport number one "Galaxie".
Gene Feder
Gene Feder is a British general practitioner and professor of primary care at the University of Bristol, best known for the IRIS domestic violence program for general practice.
Gene flow
Gene flow, also called gene or allele migration, is the transfer of genetic material between populations through migration and interbreeding. It redistributes alleles, opposes local adaptation, enables speciation with gene flow, and underlies human Neanderthal and Denisovan introgression.
Gene Frequency
Gene frequency (allele frequency) is the proportion of an allele among all gene copies at a locus in a population. Central to population genetics, Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, drift, selection, and modern sequencing databases like gnomAD.
Gene Fusion
Gene fusion: joining of parts of two or more genes into a chimeric gene, occurring naturally (oncogene fusions like BCR-ABL in cancer, up to 17% of solid tumors) or made artificially by recombinant DNA; key targets of precision oncology.
Gene G. Hunder
Gene G. Hunder is an American rheumatologist and emeritus physician at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, known for research on giant cell arteritis and polymyalgia rheumatica.
Gene Gotti
Eugene "Gene" Gotti, Gambino crime family mobster and brother of boss John Gotti; indicted 1983 on drug racketeering, tried before an anonymous jury in 1987, and sentenced to 50 years for narcotics trafficking.
Gene Grazia
Gene Grazia (Eugene Grazia, 1934-2014), American ice hockey left winger and Michigan State Spartan; won gold with the United States at the 1960 Squaw Valley Winter Olympics, the first U.S. Olympic hockey title, after playing for Milano HC and Italy in 1953.
Gene gun
Gene gun (biolistic particle delivery system): a device firing DNA-coated gold or tungsten microprojectiles into cells, invented by Sanford at Cornell; used for species-independent plant transformation, chloroplast transformation, and DNA-free genome editing.

Gene Kelly
Gene Kelly (1912-1996), American dancer, choreographer, actor, and director of Hollywood musicals including Singin' in the Rain and An American in Paris, known for athletic vernacular dance style and integrated film choreography.
Gene knockdown
Gene knockdown is a set of laboratory techniques that reduce a specific gene's expression without altering its DNA sequence, most commonly through RNA interference or antisense oligonucleotides.
Gene knockout
Gene knockout: genetic engineering that inactivates or removes specific genes to reveal their function. Methods range from homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells (2007 Nobel) to CRISPR-Cas9 indel disruption.
