Abstract:
Different gene reporter assays are used for quantifying various methods for synthetic control of gene expression. The activity of a reporter protein, fluorescence or chemical stain, is usually proportional to the level of mRNA produced in the cell and can be utilized for monitoring the activity of a promoter or enhancer. Such a reporter gene is the lacZ from Escherichia coli, encoding β- galactosidase. We cloned the PL promoter from phage lambda into the pRS414 plasmid of over 10kb to crea… Show more
