original: they are a type of reporter gene used in laboratory microbiology , molecular biology , and genetic engineering to indicate the success of a transfection or other procedure meant to introduce foreign dna into a cell .
simplifications: there is a kind of gene used in biology and genetic engineering to show the success of injection of foreign dna into a cell . they are a type of reporter gene used in laboratory microbiology , molecular biology , and genetic engineering to indicate the success of a cross infection or other procedure meant to introduce foreign dna into a cell . they are a type of reporter gene , used in laboratory microbiology , molecular biology , and genetic engineering , to indicate the success of a transfection , or other procedure meant to introduce foreign dna into a cell . they are a type of reporter gene that is used in laboratory microbiology , molecular biology , and genetic engineering to show the success of a transfection or other procedure that introduces foreign dna into a cell . a transfection or other procedure is meant to introduce foreign dna into a cell . reporter gene is used in laboratory microbiology to indicate the success . a transfection or other procedure is meant to introduce foreign dna into a cell . it is along the success . they are a kind . they are a type of reporter gene used in laboratory microbiology , molecular biology , and genetic engineering to indicate the success of a transfection or other procedure meant to introduce different dna into a cell . the workers in different kinds of biology labs call these genes " reporter genes " because when the workers put new dna into a cell , called transfection , these genes show if it went correctly or not . they are a type of reporter gene used in laboratory microbiology , molecular biology , and genetic engineering to indicate the success of a transaction or other procedure meant to introduce foreign dna into a cell .
