The phrase "affecting gene expression" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in scientific or medical contexts when discussing how certain factors influence the way genes are expressed in an organism.
Example: "The study focused on the environmental factors affecting gene expression in various plant species."
Alternatives: "modulating gene expression" or "influencing gene expression".
Using karyotyping, SNP and CGH arrays, and RNA-seq, we have identified SCNA affecting gene expression ('SCNA-genes') in seven human metastatic melanoma cell lines.
Finally, we show that the BD of BRD9 is essential for targeting BRD9 to chromatin and affecting gene expression.
Nevertheless, it could be possible that gbM is induced through regulatory processes, for instance, affecting gene expression consistency, which we found to be correlated with gbM.
An intricate network of epigenetic factors regulates cell differentiation by modulating the chromatin structure and ultimately affecting gene expression.
Environmental stimuli, including diet, can alter the epigenetic landscape of DNA cis-regulatory elements affecting gene expression and phenotype.
Yet, these complexes also play an important role in affecting gene expression at the transcriptional level, either by transcriptional gene silencing (TGS) or activation (TGA).
Our results suggest that the ultrasound trap microenvironment is minimally invasive as the biologic consequences of ES cell replication and EB differentiation proceed without significantly affecting gene expression.
Such heterogeneity can arise from specific genetic architectures amplifying stochastic fluctuations in factors affecting gene expression, and this also drives variation in eukaryotic cells.
But natural selection requires random variation to generate the various properties.Retrotransposons could provide that variation, by affecting gene expression at random, depending on where they pitch up.
Genetic variants affecting gene expression show both shared and specific immune cell type effects.
Other regulatory mechanisms are associated to transcription factors, say NFkB, circulating microRNAs, and epigenetic modifications affecting gene expression (histone hyperacetylation and chromatin remodeling) [3].
