gene amplification

How Does Gene Amplification Occur?

Gene amplification can happen through several mechanisms, including:
Errors in DNA replication
Recombination events that duplicate a gene region
Insertion of transposable elements that carry extra copies of a gene
These mechanisms can lead to the presence of multiple copies of a gene within the genome, which can then be transcribed and translated into increased levels of the associated protein.
