Until we know how to make entirely new promoters with predictable phenotypic results, we will probably have to use some promoters from crocodilians and lizards, assuming we want to make a dinosaur through genetic modification. By controlling gene expression, it is easier, as you merely have to know which genes do which and surpress/increase their expression, but the resulting phenotypes won't be inheritable.
