Euxinic environments occur when water is both anoxic and sulfidic. This means that there is no oxygen (O2) and a raised level of free hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Euxinic bodies of water are frequently strongly stratified; have an oxic, highly productive, thin surface layer; and have anoxic, sulfidic bottom water.

In the field of molecular biology, gene expression profiling is the measurement of the activity (the expression) of thousands of genes at once, to create a global picture of cellular function. (Wikipedia. 2025. Gene expression profiling https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_expression_profiling)

Allelic exclusion is a case of differential gene expression, where one of the homologous alleles is inactivated and does not participate in the function of the gene.
