    gene producing light to measure gene activity in research

    A Luciferase Reporter Gene is a gene that codes for the enzyme luciferase, which produces bioluminescence (light) when it reacts with its substrate, luciferin. Scientists use this gene in research to study gene expression and regulation because the light produced can be easily measured, providing a clear indicator of the activity of the gene of interest.
