Ectopic expression is the expression of a gene in an abnormal place of an organism. This can be caused by a disease, or it can be artificially produced as a way to help determine what the function of that gene is.

Ectopic expression of a gene can be done by introducing a transgene with a modified promoter into the target organism (transient or stable transfection) or by using the Gal4-UAS system.
