[go] 'regulation of gene expression'

[Pankaj Jaiswal]

I think here there are two aspects that being captured in terms of 
expression (transcription/translation processes) and regulation of 
expression. Former is the case whether the gene-x is participating in 
the transcription/translation process or the later one where it is 
simply participating/regulating the transcription/translation process 
that the gene-x would undergo.  Since regulation here always has a 
dependency of another gene (most likely not gene product), I prefer to 
see it more like a gene to gene interaction data and less of a 
biological process, because as Harold says often there is insufficient 
information to support say gene-x is involved in the process of gene-y. 
In Gramene we have a way to capture this aspect under gene interaction.
