Gene concepts include:
- Genes – a molecular unit of heredity in an organism, and is usually referred to in biomedical literature by their gene name, gene symbol, or both.
- Gene Products – usually a protein or microRNA that is encoded by the gene and will sometimes have the same name/symbol as the gene.
