About
This is a very small blog advocating the advantages of genetically encoded approaches in the study of biomolecular processes. This site is not affiliated with any company, and the "blogger in chief" is an Italian postdoc working with nuclear receptors in European academic settings. You can read more about reportergene's philosophy or enjoy a cartoon illustrating how the blogger plays with luciferases and fluorescent proteins to better understand life from a molecular point of view.
