What are the Advantages of Using Genetically Encoded Reporters?
Genetically encoded reporters offer several advantages:
1. Specificity: They provide precise information about the location and quantity of the target protein. 2. Real-time Monitoring: Many reporters allow for real-time observation of cellular processes. 3. Non-invasiveness: They can be used in living tissues without the need for destructive sampling. 4. Quantitative Analysis: The intensity of the signal can be measured to provide quantitative data.
