Marker Genes
Marker genes are genes used to identify particular characteristics in a species or to locate particular positions on a chromosome. They are commonly used in biotechnology to enhance specificity in research. By tracking the expression of marker genes, scientists can identify new gene functions and pathways, study genetic diseases, and create genetically modified organisms. Marker genes are an important component of genetic engineering, providing a rapid and efficient way to trace and analyze genetic components.
