Polymerase Is The Key
a: Promoter ~
b: lock
What: "Each chromosome contains thousands of genes, each with its own promoter site or sites. The promoter is like a lock; the gene cannot be put to use unless the promoter is unlocked by a protein key"Encyclopedia of Evolution

a: Promoter ~
b: tab on an individual file folder
What: "So, when we say that DNA is the genetic material of a cell and determines a cell's ... containing information, the promoter is like the tab on an individual file folder that helps you locate specific information"Hmmm, or is like a database index?From:Microbiology the Easy Way

a: promoter ~
b: password protection
What:
"Barr's research involves a mutation in a region of the DNA directly before the CRH gene, called the CRH promoter. In a sense, a gene's promoter is like password protection for the gene. If the cell doesn't use the proper combination of factors to satisfy the password, the instructions in the gene cannot be accessed. Other times, a faulty promoter will allow access to the gene too often. In the current study, the mutation in the promoter for CRH causes the cell to make too much CRF. "

METAMIA is a free database of analogy
and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search.
The subject matter can be anything.
Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged.
The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with
the stark literalism of a relational database.
Metamia is like a girdle for your muses,
a cognitive girdle.
