Pre‐dispositions and epigenetic inheritance in the Escherichia coli lactose operon bistable switch

Abstract The lactose operon regulation in Escherichia coli is a primary model of phenotypic switching, reminiscent of cell fate determination in higher organisms. Under conditions of bistability, an isogenic cell population partitions into two subpopulations, with the operon's genes turned on o...
