The document discusses Cignal Reporter Assays, which are cell-based assays for analyzing gene expression and signaling pathways. The assays use dual-luciferase technology and transcription factor-targeted response elements to provide sensitive and reproducible measurements of 45 signaling pathways. Key advantages of the assays include minimizing experimental variability through dual-luciferase normalization, increasing signal-to-noise ratio using destabilized and codon-optimized luciferase, and maximizing response using optimized transcriptional response elements tailored to each pathway. The assays are available in multiple formats including plasmid, lentiviral, luciferase and GFP, making them suitable for a variety of experimental systems and applications.
