Mechanism of initiation and repression of in vitro transcription of the lac operon of Escherichia coli.

abstract：:Males of the androdioecious species Caenorhabditis elegans are more likely to attempt to mate with and successfully inseminate C. elegans hermaphrodites that do not concurrently harbor sperm. Although a small number of genes have been implicated in this effect, the mechanism by which it arises remains unknown. In the ...
