specific DNA sequence where RNA polymerase binds to initiate transcription

The promoter region is a specific sequence of DNA located near the start of a gene that acts as a binding site for RNA polymerase and other transcription factors. This region essentially "promotes" the initiation of transcription, the process by which the genetic code from DNA is copied into messenger RNA (mRNA). Understanding promoter regions is crucial in fields like genetics and molecular biology, as they play a key role in regulating gene expression.
