Abstract
In this review, we survey work that has been carried out in the attempts of biomathematicians to understand the dynamic behaviour of simple bacterial operons starting with the initial work of the 1960's. We concentrate on the simplest of situations, discussing both repressible and inducible systems and then turning to concrete examples related to the biology of the lactose and tryptophan operons. We conclude with a brief discussion of the role of both extrinsic noise and so-called intrinsic noise in the form of translational and/or transcriptional bursting.

期刊介绍：
The considerable "algorithmic complexity" of biological systems requires a huge amount of detailed information for their complete description. Although far from being complete, the overwhelming quantity of small pieces of information gathered for all kind of biological systems at the molecular and cellular level requires computational tools to be adequately stored and interpreted. Interpretation of data means to abstract them as much as allowed to provide a systematic, an integrative view of biology. Most of the presently available scientific journals focus either on accumulating more data from elaborate experimental approaches, or on presenting new algorithms for the interpretation of these data. Both approaches are meritorious.
