    technique to measure gene activity in different conditions

    Gene Expression Analysis is a technique used to study how genes are turned on or off in cells, which helps scientists understand how genes contribute to various biological processes and diseases. By measuring the levels of RNA produced from genes, researchers can determine which genes are active in different tissues or under different conditions, providing insights into functions like hair growth or the mechanisms behind conditions like alopecia.
