This book describes the history and present knowledge of a
paradigmatic system, the lac operon of E. coli. The first part of
the book presents the history of the operon and various schools of
thought regarding genetic control in general. The second part
presents a number of false interpretations and misconceptions and
demonstrates how easily a scientist may deceive himself. The third
and last part thoroughly covers the current state of knowledge of
the lac operon including the importance of the auxiliary operators
and discussions of several X-ray structures, one of which was
published shortly before this book went into press. A unique
combination of personal anecdotes and present-day science makes
this book appealing to students, postdocs, active and retired
researchers alike.
