Is the reporter gene independent of the gene of interest?
As a result, the reporter gene's expression is independent of the gene of interest's expression, which is an advantage when the gene of interest is only expressed under certain specific conditions or in tissues that are difficult to access.
Can a reporter gene be assayed quantitatively?
Ideally it should be possible to assay the phenotype quantitatively. The reporter gene may be fused immediately DOWNSTREAM of a regulatory region so that its expression (see GENE EXPRESSION is under the influence of that region.
How are reporter genes used to monitor gene expression?
Reporter gene technology is widely used to monitor the cellular events associated with signal transduction and gene expression. Based upon the splicing of transcriptional control elements to a variety of reporter genes (with easily measurable phenotypes), it “reports” the effects of a cascade of signaling events on gene expression inside cells.
How are reporter genes used in plant transformation?
The plant transformation can be assessed by the expression of reporter genes (also called as screenable or scoreable genes). In general, an assay for the reporter gene is carried out by estimating the quantity of the protein it produces or the final products formed.
