"Gene Expression and Phenotypic Traits" ed. by Yuan-Chuan Chen, Shiu-Jau Chen

This book explores the significance, mechanism, function, characteristic, determination, and application of gene expression and phenotypic traits.

Gene expression is the most fundamental level at which genotype gives rise to phenotype, which is an obvious, observable, and measurable trait. Phenotype is dependent on genetic makeup of the organism and influenced by environmental conditions.
