Transcriptional bursting refers to a phenomenon observed in the regulation of gene expression in which the transcription of a gene occurs in sudden, intermittent bursts rather than at a steady, continuous rate. This process results in fluctuations in the levels of messenger RNA (mRNA) and, consequently, the corresponding proteins produced from those genes.
