Terminator (genetics)
In genetics, a transcription terminator is a section of nucleic acid sequence that marks the end of a gene or operon in genomic DNA during Transcription (genetics), transcription. This sequence mediates transcriptional termination by providing signals in the newly synthesized transcript RNA that trigger processes which release the transcript RNA from the RNA polymerase, transcriptional complex. These processes include the direct interaction of the Nucleic acid secondary structure, mRNA secondary structure with the complex and/or the indirect activities of recruited termination factors. Release of the transcriptional complex frees RNA polymerase and related transcriptional machinery to begin transcription of new mRNAs. In prokaryotes Two classes of transcription terminators, Rho-dependent and Rho-independent, have been identified throughout prokaryotes, prokaryotic genomes. These widely distributed sequences are responsible for triggering the end of transcription upon normal comp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Greed (game Show)
''Greed'' is an American television game show that aired on Fox for one season. Chuck Woolery was the show's host while Mark Thompson was its announcer. The series format consisted of a team of contestants who answered a set of up to eight multiple-choice questions (the first set of four containing one right answer and the second set of four containing four right answers) for a potential prize of up to $2,000,000 (). Dick Clark and Bob Boden of Dick Clark Productions created the series in response to the success of ABC's ''Who Wants to Be a Millionaire''. Production was rushed in an effort to launch the show before ''Millionaire''s new season, and the show premiered less than two months after it was initially pitched. A pilot episode was omitted, and Fox aired its first episode of ''Greed'' on November 4, 1999. While its Nielsen ratings were not quite as successful as ''Who Wants to Be a Millionaire'', ''Greed'' still improved on Fox's performance year-to-year in its tim ...

Terminator (DC Comics)
Deathstroke is a character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Created by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez, the character first appeared in ''The New Teen Titans'' #2 (December 1980) as Deathstroke the Terminator. In his comic book appearances, Slade Wilson is a former United States Army, U.S. Army operative who gains enhanced physical and mental abilities from an experimental Supersoldier, super-soldier serum and becomes the mercenary Deathstroke. Widely considered the greatest and deadliest assassin in the DC Universe, he serves as the archenemy of Dick Grayson and the Teen Titans, and is also an adversary of other superheroes such as Batman, Green Arrow, and the Justice League. Deathstroke's vendetta against the Titans began when he swore revenge for the death of his eldest son Ravager (DC Comics), Grant; his other two children, Jericho (DC Comics), Jericho and Rose Wilson, Rose, would go on to join the Titans to oppose him.
