Relation: regulates

A more specific form of affects, that implies the effect results from a biologically evolved control mechanism. Gene-affects-gene relationships will (almost) always involve regulation. Chemical-affects-gene relationships may in some cases be considered regulation (if the chemical is some endogenously produced signaling molecule created to execute a certain function/activity), but exogenous/environmental chemical-affects-gene relationships are usually not cases of regulation.
