bacteria =/= eukaryotes. Gene expression in bacteria is very far away from gene expression in humans.

  Of course gene expression in bacterial isn't the same as humans...obviously when building synthetic life from atoms up we aren't going to just reproduce a human in our first effort, we start with a simple bacteria, and because of the complexity (and our lack of understanding of the gene expression in even simple bacteria) we purposely reproduced the bacteria with about 1/2 the genes for the sole purpose of studying those genes. But maybe I am wrong and this is in no way helpful for studying gene expression.
