A substance which, when it contacts a living cell, causes the activation of a gene; as, non-metabolizable inducers are useful for studying the kinetics of genetic control systems.
A chemical or physical agent that turns on gene expression. Usually refers to an agent that alters repressor-operator interactions, often by decreasing DNA-binding.
(1) In enzyme systems, a small molecule which, when added to a growth medium, causes a large increase in the level of some enzyme. (2) In embryology, a substance that causes a group of target cells to differentiate in a particular way.
An algorithm which builds a model from training data. MineSet supports four classification inducers (Decision Tree, Option Tree, Evidence, Decision Table), and one regression inducer (Regression Tree).
