differentiate reporter gene from marker gene
Answers
Explanation:
A marker gene is a gene used in molecular biology to determine if a nucleic acid sequence has been successfully inserted into an organism's DNA. There are two types of marker genes: a selectable marker (Antibiotics ) and a marker for screening(Green fluorescent protein ).
a reporter gene (often simply reporter) is a gene that researchers attach to a regulatory sequence of another gene of interest in cell culture, animals or plants. Certain genes are chosen as reporters because the characteristics they confer on organisms expressing them are easily identified and measured(Green fluorescent protein), or because they are selectable markers(Antibiotics).
I think they are almost similar. depends on the goal of your project definition will be different.
