For example cloned bacterial cells exposed to antibiotic.
You had a gene already, if your cloning goes Wright your expression raised.
No for checking this you need two groups, one untreated and the other exposed to antibiotic. After that you extract RNA then make cDNA and check the delta ct in real time results.
Gene expression/over expression can be determined on mRNA level (via Northern blotting, RT-PCR, qRT-PCR ... as direct effect) or functional on protein level (e.g. via WB, ELISA, 2DE-PAGE etc.).
