摘要

Reference gene is widely used in species identification. According to gene expression level, it can be classified into two categories: the reference gene on the genome and on the transcriptome. Reference genes that are related to the animals, plants, microorganisms, and genetically modified (GM) crops have been reported. This chapter has detailed and introduced the reference gene from definition, classification, identification methods, and application. The future research advances have been stated in the end.
