Different types of cells contain different constellations of RNA molecules and proteins. These aspects of cell identity are controlled by gene expression – the process by which genes are transcribed to form messenger RNA molecules, some of which are translated to produce proteins
Fluorescent proteins are widely used as reporters for gene expression

C ells are dynamic places and the levels of gene products – RNA molecules and proteins – inside a given cell change over time. These aspects of cell identity are controlled by gene expression – the process by which genes are transcribed to form messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules, some of which are translated to produce proteins.
