Gene expression

Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product that enables it to produce end products, proteins or non-coding RNA, and ultimately affect a phenotype.

See Benitec Biopharma and Gene expression

Gene silencing

Gene silencing is the regulation of gene expression in a cell to prevent the expression of a certain gene.

See Benitec Biopharma and Gene silencing

Hepatitis B

Hepatitis B is an infectious disease caused by the Hepatitis B virus (HBV) that affects the liver; it is a type of viral hepatitis.
