A marker gene is a gene used in nuclear biology and molecular biology to determine if a nucleic acid sequence has been successfully inserted into an organism's DNA1. There are two sub-types of these marker genes:
- Selectable marker: This type of marker protects the organism from a selective agent that would normally kill it or prevent its growth. For example, antibiotics are the most common selective agents used. In a transformation reaction, only one in several million to billion cells may take up DNA. Rather than checking every single cell, scientists use a selective agent to kill all cells that do not contain the foreign DNA, leaving only the desired ones1.
In the context of genetic engineering, a marker gene is transferred with the desired gene to enable scientists to identify which cells have been successfully altered and now contain recombinant DNA2. Antibiotic-resistant genes were once commonly used as marker genes2.
