Enhancer (genetics) — In genetics, an enhancer is a short region of DNA that can be bound with proteins (namely, the trans acting factors, much like a set of transcription factors) to enhance transcription levels of genes (hence the name) in a gene cluster. While… … Wikipedia

Enhancer trap — In essence, enhancer traps are transgenic constructions by the fusing of two proteins that are inserted into the genome for the identification of enhancers. Its structure contains a mobile element (necessary for random insertion in the genome)… … Wikipedia
enhancer trap — Technique for mapping gene expression patterns, classically in Drosophila. A transposon element carrying a reporter gene (usually beta galactosidase), linked to a very weak promoter, is induced to ‘jump’ within the genome. If the P element re… … Dictionary of molecular biology
enhancer — A DNA control element frequently found 5 to the start site of a gene, which when bound by a specific transcription factor, enhances the levels of expression of the gene, but is not sufficient alone to cause expression. Distinguished from a… … Dictionary of molecular biology
