expression (in genetics)

Conversion of the genetic information encoded in DNA into a final gene product (either a protein or any of the different types of RNA).

Note: Because changes in RNA synthesis are often estimated by measuring mRNA levels, the term “gene expression” is often misleadingly used as synonymous with transcription. The term “gene expression” includes transcription, processing, and splicing of mRNA, as well as translation, and post-translational modification of the protein product.
