Law/Patents - Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-)
English term or phrase: to up regulate
From a claim of a patent relating to a method for detecting hydrocarbons in a sample:

...the expression of one or more genes is up regulated compared to the reference sample.

I do not know what is meant by "up regulated". By the way, shouldn't it be "up-regulated"?

Many thanks advance, as usual, for your input.

Explanation:
Normaal is 'positief reguleren' een prima term voor 'opreguleren', maar in deze context is dat wat lastig door de vergrotende trap:
Je kunt niet zeggen dat de genexpressie "positiever gereguleerd is dan in het referentiemonster".
De genexpressie wordt/is (door regulatie) op een hoger niveau gebracht.
