Abstract:
The LexA-VP16-ER (XVE) system is an estrogen-receptor-based chemical-inducible system for use in plants. Protocols are outlined for the inducible overexpression of transgenes, inducible transgene excision, inducible gene silencing, regulated in vivo cDNA generation, inducible activation tagging, and the generation of conditional knockouts.

Reporter Genes
12.7K
Reporter genes are a type of protein-coding gene that are often tagged to a gene of interest. Once inside a target cell, reporter genes usually produce visually identifiable characteristics like fluorescence and luminescence when expressed along with the gene of interest. Thus, reporter genes “report” the presence or absence of genes of interest in an organism, determine the gene expression pattern, or track the physical location of a DNA segment or protein in the cell.

RNA is the Missing Link Between DNA and Proteins
In the early 1900s, scientists discovered that DNA stores all the information needed for cellular functions and that proteins perform most of these functions. However, the mechanisms of converting genetic information into functional proteins remained unknown for many years. Initially, it was believed that a single gene is...
