A reporter gene can be cloned so that it is under the control of gene\'s tissue

Question

A reporter gene can be cloned so that it is under the control of gene's tissue specific regulatory regions. B. A reporter gene can be expressed using a synthetic (not natural promoter) so that it can be expressed in all tissues of an organism C. A gene that is normally expressed in the organism can be cloned under the control of different regulatory element so that it is expressed in all tissues. D. The transgene can be used to mutate a gene in the genome. Option A is used in gene expression studies. For each option (B, C, D), where is it used?

Explanation / Answer

Synthetic promoter is used for in vivo and invitro studies of transcriptional regulation and gene expression. A gene is cloned under the control of different regulatory element used during the studies of a specific gene product means which proteins they encode. Transgene is used for the studies of different type of disease like cancer, parkinson's disease,etc
