====== Profile ====== An expression profile typically refers to a collection of data that describes the levels of [[gene expression]] in a biological sample, such as cells or tissues. This data provides information about which genes are active and to what extent they are active under specific conditions. Expression profiling can be done using techniques like microarrays or RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Researchers use expression profiles to understand gene regulation, identify biomarkers for diseases, and gain insights into biological processes.
