If the DNA is correctly "read" and its recipe precisely followed, the "right" proteins will be produced in the cell and the gene will have been "expressed." If, however, the process is blocked, either through biological accident or through normal feedback mechanisms at higher levels, the gene is said to have been "repressed."

[[Genes]] are segments of [[DNA]] that contain the information required to make a [[protein]].  Gene expression refers to all the processes involved in converting genetic information from a [[DNA]] sequence, or [[protein]].  In [[prokaryote]]s, there are just two processes required: [[transcription]] and [[translation]].  In [[eukaryote]]s, there is an additional step [[RNA]] processing (splicing), which intervenes.
