The phrase "a test gene" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in scientific or research contexts, particularly in genetics or molecular biology, to refer to a gene that is being examined or evaluated for specific characteristics or functions.
Example: "In our study, we introduced a test gene into the organism to observe its effects on growth and development."
Alternatives: "an experimental gene" or "a trial gene".
Preliminary testing of the polymers in mice showed that they efficiently delivered a test gene coding for a fluorescent protein to ovarian tumors.
Users query the database to compute similarity metrics between a test gene expression signature and each reference set.
The team inserted a test gene that encodes the green fluorescent protein (GFP).
Differences in CT values between a test gene and endogenous controls (18s rRNA and GAPDH) (ΔCT) were calculated and used for statistical analyses.
We have previously shown that the chimeric proteins, obtained by fusing the Jazz zinc-finger gene with the appropriate transcriptional effector domain are able to drive the transcription of a test gene from both natural and synthetic utrophin promoters [17].

The researchers attached these entry keys to PNAs designed to shut down expression of a test gene--the galanin receptor gene, which binds a protein, galanin, that helps regulate everything from pain perception to food intake.
The fold change in gene expression for a tested gene was calculated by 2−ΔΔCt.
After repeating this process for all genes, we generated a control set for a tested gene set.
Relative expression level of a tested gene was quantified as the ratio of transcript amounts between the tested gene and EF1α.
The expression level of a tested gene was quantified as the ratio between transcript amounts of the gene and EF1α.
