Abstract
All genes are differentially regulated in the sense that each gene is expressed at different levels in different tissues and times during development and senescence. A gene that was expressed to the same extent in every cell at all times would be highly unusual: even such basic housekeeping genes as those specifying the histones are differentially regulated over the cell cycle. Tissue and temporal specificity is thus a fundamental property of genes in higher organisms.
