Marker genes are used to identify transformed cells or organisms containing a recombinant plasmid with a transgenic gene, as not all cells or organisms take up the plasmid.
Los genes marcadores se utilizan para identificar células u organismos transformados que contienen un plásmido recombinante con un gen transgénico, ya que no todas las células u organismos toman el plásmido.
