What are reporter genes? Give examples. |
|
Answer» Besides marker genes, there are certain genes which produce or present some specific features in the host cell. These are called reporter genes. These genes produce a special effect on account of which the cells containing these genes look different from other cells. Example: LUC gene found in fire-fly (“Jugnoo”) and produces bioluminescence. |
