Housekeeping Genes. A Represents the housekeeping genes (n = 25) on the circular NCTC 11168... Download Scientific Housekeeping genes are commonly described as "essential for cellular existence regardless of their specific function in the tissue or organism", and. Author summary Housekeeping genes have often been associated with four main biological criteria-stability in expression across samples, essentiality, participation in cellular maintenance, and evolutionarily conserved

Godbey, in An Introduction to Biotechnology, 2014 4.2.3.2.1.2 CpG Islands The TATA box is not the only feature that can be used to identify the location of the gene For instance, there is a class of genes that is constantly being expressed, known as housekeeping genes
Housekeeping genes are of broad interest for translational and basic science research The housekeeping gene expression levels are fine-tuned to meet the metabolic requirements in various tissues Thus, they are expected to be expressed in all cells of an organism under normal conditions, irrespective of tissue type, developmental stage, cell cycle state, or external signal
Ranking of 10 candidate housekeeping genes based on stability values (M... Download Scientific. Housekeeping genes are of broad interest for translational and basic science research Housekeeping genes are genes that are required for the maintenance of basal cellular functions that are essential for the existence of a cell, regardless of its specific role in the tissue or organism
. For instance, there is a class of genes that is constantly being expressed, known as housekeeping genes Some genes, however, are constitutively expressed in all tissues and their expression levels are comparatively constant across different cell types
