Spatiotemporal gene expression

Spatiotemporal gene expression refers to the regulation of gene expression in both space (spatial) and time (temporal) within a biological system. This concept emphasizes that genes are not expressed uniformly throughout an organism or tissue at all times; rather, their expression can vary based on location and developmental stage. ### Key Aspects of Spatiotemporal Gene Expression: 1. **Spatial Variation**: - Gene expression can differ in various tissues, organs, or cellular compartments.
