English term or phrase: halfsite/ half-site
------- Sp1 which is a transcription factor binding preferentially to the G allele, can enhance binding by the strogen receptor to a nearby HALFSITE, suggesting that Sp1 might facilitate estrogen receptor binding to the G allele moreso than to the A allele---------


I guess halfsite is some kind of DNA sequence, but I would like to understand thoroughly

Thanks.
