Dictionary » R » Reporter gene Reporter genereporter gene (Science: molecular biology) A gene that encodes an easily assayed product (e.g. CAT) that is coupled to the upstream sequence of another gene and transfected into cells. The reporter gene can then be used to see which factors activate response elements in the upstream region of the gene of interest. ![]()

Results from our forumOrientation of genes"to be cloned" part is not needed. Sorry When making a gene construct (before inserting into an expression vector), do we have to place the desired gene, the reporter gene and the marker gene in any specific direction or orientation? I have seen ...

Reporter gene without fusionI know that a reporter gene can be used to detect the foreign gene expression if it is fused with the foreign gene. But can we monitor ...

Direct or indirect protein-DNA interaction... DNA binding transcription factor has a direct interaction with a gene of interest ( we know that the TF has impact on expression because a ... this, but I can't come up with anything useful. Perhaps some kind of reporter gene assay might work? But reporter genes can't tell me what (if ...

Can you recommend a vector?Hi all, I am doing some mutation analysis. I have generated 4 mutants and a wild type and have been trying to transfect my cells ... we are getting constitutive silencing, this even happens when using a GFP reporter, where there is no phenotype. We can maintain expression (as detected ...
