Pedagogical Use Description | The exercise is an inquiry investigation of an environmentally regulated promoter controlling the expression of the green fluorescent protein reporter gene. The students conduct experiments of their own design to identify environmental factors that control gene expression. The students use basic statistics to evaluate their results. |
Uniqueness | Students quantify gene expression by measuring the intensity of surface fluorescence by green fluorescence protein. The students make the measurements by taking photographs using a digital camera that has a home-made epifluorescence attachment. |
