A special sequence of nucleotides in DNA that marks the end of a gene; it signals RNA polymerase to release the newly made RNA molecule, which then departs from the gene.

1770, "line of separation between the bright and dark parts of a moon or planet," from Late Latin terminator "he who sets bounds," agent noun from terminare "to mark the end o [..]

The boundary between the light side and the dark side of a planet or other body.

device which captures or reflects the power of waves.

The great circle of transition from daylight to darkness on the earth's surface. The terminator appears in visible environmental satellite imagery as a gradual change from easily detectable cloud [..]

Typically, a resistor placed at the end of a bus to prevent the reflection of signals.

Corporations use the law to intimidate farmers who save their own seed.

Internet Glossary (1) A device attached to the end-points of a bus network or daisy-chain. The purpose of the terminator is to absorb signals so that they do not reflect back down the line. Ethernet networks require a terminator at both ends of the bus, and SCSI chains require a single terminator at the end of the chain.(2) A character that indicat [..]

A sequence downstream from the 3' end of an open reading frame that serves to halt transcription by the RNA polymerase. In bacteria these are commonly sequences that are palindromic and thus capa [..]

The line on the Moon or a planet that divides the bright, sunlit part from the part in shadow. It’s usually the most exciting and detailed region of the Moon to view through a telescope.

— The line which delimits night (shadowed portion) and day (sunlit portion) on a celestial body. The Moon's phases illustrate this.

The boundary between the illuminated and dark portion of the moon or a planet.

A terminator is a dedicated device used to mark the end of a device chain (as is most typically found with SCSI devices). If such a chain is not properly terminated, weird results can occur.

(n) someone who exterminates (especially someone whose occupation is the extermination of troublesome rodents and insects)

 - A device used to transition between overhead and underground, medium and high voltage conductors.

Line dividing illuminated surface of Moon from surface not illuminated. Sometimes applied to same line on planets, including Earth.

See transcription terminator sequence.

A character or string that marks the end of another string. The $/ variable contains the string that terminates a readline operation, which chomp deletes from the end. Not to be confused with delimiters or separators. The period at the end of this sentence is a terminator.

A character

The line separating illuminated and dark portions of a nonself- luminous body, as the moon.

Boundary of a planet or moon separating the lighted from the unlighted sides.

the dividing line between the bright and shaded regions (usually shaded from the light of the Sun) of the disk of a moon or planet.

One who finishes. (biochemistry) A DNA sequence which causes RNA transcription to cease and an mRNA transcript to break off. (electronics) An electrical device that absorbs reflection at the end [..]

An object on a context diagram or a data flow diagram that represents a user class, actor, software system, or hardware device that is external to the system being described but interfaces to it in some fashion. Also called an external entity.
