Q:

Which reporter gene should I choose for my reporter gene experiment?

A:

In general, all reporter genes can be used.

For some applications (e.g. reporter gene experiments in various primary cells, experiments with late analysis time point due to starving and /or stimulation) a reporter gene with a longer half life than Luciferase might be advisable.
