Promoter (genetics) - Wikipedia
In genetics, a promoter is a sequence of DNA to which proteins bind to initiate transcription of a single RNA transcript from the DNA downstream of the promoter. The RNA transcript may encode a protein (mRNA), or can have a function in and of itself, such as tRNA or rRNA.

Promoter - National Human Genome Research Institute
A promoter, as related to genomics, is a region of DNA upstream of a gene where relevant proteins (such as RNA polymerase and transcription factors) bind to initiate transcription of that gene. The resulting transcription produces an RNA molecule (such as mRNA).

Promoters - Addgene
A promoter is a region of DNA where transcription of a gene is initiated. Promoters are a vital component of expression vectors because they control the binding of the RNA polymerase to DNA.

Promoter 2.0 - DTU Health Tech - Bioinformatic Services
Motivation: a new approach to the prediction of eukaryotic Pol II promoters from DNA sequence takes advantage of a combination of elements similar to neural networks and genetic algorithms to recognize a set of discrete subpatterns with variable separation as one pattern, a promoter.

Promoters in Genetics: Initiating and Regulating Gene Expression - IDT
In genetics, a promoter is a specific region of DNA that serves as the initial binding site for RNA polymerase and transcrip tion factors. This region is located upstream (towards the 5' end) of the gene it controls.

PROMOTER Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster
The meaning of PROMOTER is one that promotes; especially : one who assumes the financial responsibilities of a sporting event (such as a boxing match) including contracting with the principals, renting the site, and collecting gate receipts.

Promoters and Enhancers: Components, Mechanism, Functions
The promoter region is a critical regulatory DNA sequence located upstream (5′) of a gene’s coding region that serves as the primary command centre for initiating transcription.

16.6: Eukaryotic Gene Regulation - The Promoter and the Transcription ...
The purpose of the promoter is to bind transcription factors that control the initiation of transcription. The promoter region can be short or quite long; the longer the promoter is, the more available space for proteins to bind.

What Are Promoters and How Do They Regulate Genes?
A promoter acts as a designated “start signal” or a “landing pad” on the DNA molecule, marking the precise location where cellular machinery should begin reading a gene. Without this molecular address, the cell’s machinery would not know where to initiate copying genetic instructions.

Promoter | genetics | Britannica
…sequence on DNA called a promoter that signifies the start of the gene. The two strands of DNA become separated at this point, and RNA polymerase begins copying from a specific point on one strand of the DNA using a ribonucleoside 5′-triphosphate to begin the growing chain.
