lacoperon has something to do with genetics and gene sequencing Lac operon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The correct title of this article is lac operon. The initial letter is capitalized due to technical restrictions.
The lac operon is an operon required for the transport and metabolism of lactose in Escherichia coli and some other enteric bacteria. It consists of three adjacent structural genes, a promoter, a terminator, and an operator. The lac operon is regulated by several factors including the availability of glucose and of lactose. Gene regulation of the lac operon was the first genetic regulatory mechanism to be elucidated and is often used as the canonical example of prokaryotic gene regulation.
