Compare and contrast positive and negative controls of gene expression in bacteria

What will be an ideal response?


Both forms of control result from an interaction of a molecule (usually considered to be a protein) with the genetic material (either RNA or DNA). Positive control results when the interaction stimulates transcription, whereas negative control occurs when the interaction inhibits transcription.
