Chemiluminescent Gene Reporter Systems Features of Luminometers How is the expression of a given gene controlled? That is a question asked of many in the biological and medical sciences. "Reporter genes," which encode quantifiable enzymes or proteins, are often employed by researchers seeking to better understand how the expression of genes of interest is controlled.
