Promoter sequences are DNA sequences that define where transcription of a gene by RNA polymerase begins. Promoter sequences are typically located directly upstream or at the 5' end of the ...

The transcription of a gene is controlled by a so-called promoter region, which is located directly before the start of the gene. More detailed investigations in recent years have indicated that ...

Such "transcription" of a gene begins when RNAP binds to a "promoter" DNA sequence and ends at a "terminator" sequence where ...
