They actually come from the same Indo-Latin root meaning "One who has the ability to kick ass"
So...I used the words interchangeably in the introduction and the blog title.

I would have titled that enhancer/promoter and explained that although both are cis-acting elements, a promoter lies between 1 and about 100 base pairs upstream of the expressed gene, binds the general transcription machinery, and is orientation and location dependant, whereas the enhancer can lie anywhere on the chromosome, is orientation independant and binds specialized transcription factors. Fuckin' A, man.
