Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The control of gene expression in the eukaryotes relies on a group of proteins known as the transcription factors (TFs). These factors allow the eukaryotes to alter their cell types and cell growth patterns. The transcription factors alone are not responsible for the gene regulation; cell signaling, siRNA control mechanisms, chromatin modifications, and RNA splicing also help in the regulation of the gene expression.
