Reporter genes
Reporter genes are an integral component of molecular biology used to study biological pathways and processes. Reporter genes are attached to a known sequence of another gene of interest in an organism, such as a bacteria, cell, or plant. Attachment of a reporter gene allows visualization or quantification of a gene of interest. Common reporter systems used on molecular biology include luciferase and green fluorescent protein (GFP).
