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).
The advent of precision medicine largely depends on the creation of precise and accurate predictive tools. While most late-onset diseases are moderately to highly heritable, using genetic inf...
