a DNA codon found near the beginning of a gene that tells RNA polymerase where to start transcribing RNA
Specifically, one who sets on foot, and takes the preliminary steps in, a scheme for the organization of a corporation, a joint-stock company, or the like
A control region of a gene that determines in which tissue and at what time points a gene product is produced
A segment of DNA near the beginning of a gene that controls if and when the gene is actually expressed Promoters can be specific for certain tissues such as roots, seeds, etc
One who, or that which, forwards, advances, or promotes; an encourager; as, a promoter of charity or philosophy
A DNA sequence that is located in front of a gene and controls gene expression Promoters are required for binding of RNA polymerase to initiate transcription

An agent that is not carcinogenic itself, but when administered after an initiator of carcinogenesis, stimulates the clonal expansion of the initiated cell to produce a neoplasm
a region of DNA usually occurring upstream from a gene coding region and acting as a controlling element in the expression of that gene It serves as a recognition signal for an RNA polymerase and marks the site of initiation of transcription
This is an agent which increases tumour production by another substance when applied to susceptible organisms after their exposure to the first substance
The promoter of a cause or idea tries to make it become popular. Aaron Copland was an energetic promoter of American music
A segment of DNA located at the "front" end of a gene, which provides a site where the enzymes involved in the transcription process can bind on to a DNA molecule, and initiate transcription Promoters are critically involved in the regulation of gene expression Source : PhRMA Genomics
