Experience changes gene expression
Professor James Eberwine describes three ways in which experiences can change the gene-expression: changing RNA translation, movement, and potentially production.
Daily interactions, even thinking about a past experience, does change gene expression within cells both at the level of translation of RNAs in a protein, potentially movement of RNAs into different regions of the cell, and thirdly potentially even the production of RNAs. Experience definitely changes gene expression.

Professor James Eberwine describes the primary functions of RNA-binding proteins, which include regulating tRNAs, degrading RNAs, synthesizing RNAs, and regulating multigenic gene expression.
Professor James Eberwine explains that gene expression within a cell is dynamic - changing in various ways as a cell ages.
Professor James Eberwine discusses what we might see were we to take a snapshot of the internal dynamics of a living cell, which might resemble Grand Central Station during rush hour.
Professor James Eberwine discusses the structural changes in a cell related to long-term potentiation. These include changes in the shape of dendritic spines.
François Jacob, Sydney Brenner and Matt Meselson worked on the role of mRNA. An on/off switch involving mRNA seemed a logical control point for protein production.
Promoters are DNA sequences located in the 5' region adjacent to the transcriptional start site.
Matt Meselson also had a hand in Sydney Brenner's RNA experiment. He talks about the experiment and how they waited for James Watson's group to finished their RNA work before publishing.
James Watson and Francis Crick developed the idea to explain how DNA and RNA related in protein production.

Professor Allen Moore explains that expression analysis allows researchers to study what it is that the gene is making.
