Bio Term enhancer trap is A transgenic construction inserted in a chromosome which is used to identify tissue-specific enhancers in the genome. In such a construct, a promoter sensitive to enhancer regulation is fused to a reporter gene, such that expression patterns of the reporter gene identify the spatial regulation conferred by nearby enhancers.

Bio Term Promoter is A sequence on DNA that functions as the RNA polymerase binding site, thus defining the transcription start site. Promoter recognition is largely determined by the sigma factor associated with RNA polymerase and the interaction of RNA polymerase with posit

Bio Term Excision repair is A repair system that removes nucleotides from a damaged strand of DNA and then replaces them with a new tract of DNA synthesised using the undamaged complementary strand as a template.

Bio Term allele is an alternative form of a gene.
