Regulation of gene expression refers to a very broad term that may occur at various levels. In eukaryotes the gene expression can be regulated at transcriptional level, processing level, transport of mRNA from nucleus to the cytoplasm, and translational level whereas in prokaryotes, control of the rate of transcriptional initiation is the predominant site for control of gene expression.
