Lac operon and bioinformatics

I am trying to incorporate bioinformatics regarding the lac operon. Any ideas as to how? I'm looking at the e. coli cells changing from a glucose medium to a lactose medium?

Re: Markerless mutants using suicide vector

... bacteria. We had been able to generate a single mutant using this method before, but we're having trouble deleting a gene within the same region (operon), and the issue (and difference between the two) are not so obvious for us. Our vector is a circular plasmid. Can you elaborate on what you mean ...

mRNA transcripts, cis/trans-acting questions

... DNA sequence region containing the UAS sites upstream of GAL2 is deleted in this mutant. You are studying the genetics of a negatively regulated operon in E. coli, in which a single mRNA transcript encodes two genes (A and B) that are separately translated into two proteins A and B. You have ...
