Reportor is often used in cell and molecular biology to report to identified weather the experiment is successful within few seconds. Reportor gene is attach to a regulatorable promotor for gene of interest. When the experiment reaches expectation result the rportor protein molecules will show reporting signs, such as positive selection (color, antibiotic resistant, and cell growth)and negative selection (cell death).

We uses three colour genes (Blue pigment protein, Green fluoresecent protein, and Red fluoresecent protein) as our experiment reportor. We uses those color proteins to monitor the gene regulation by the lacI which controls plasmid copy number.
