1. Modify the gene sequence string so that it highlights or “tags” the special sequences within this gene, as follows (ellipses indicate bases in the sequence; note the spaces before the start tag and after the end tag):
   • -35 box of the promoter
     • tttact
     • sed -r "s/.{17} <minus10box>/ <\/minus35box> &/g" | sed "s/tt[gt]ac[at] <\/minus35box>/ <minus35box> &/g"
   • -10 box of the promoter
     • cattat
     • cat infA-E.coli-K12.txt | sed "s/cat[at]at/ <minus10box>&<\/minus10box> /g"
   • transcription start site
     • atg
     • cat infA-E.coli-K12.txt | sed "2s/atg/<tss>&<\/tss> /1"
   • ribosome binding site
     • gagg
     • cat infA-E.coli-K12.txt | sed "s/gagg/ <rbs>&<\/rbs> /g"
   • start codon
     • atg
     • cat infA-E.coli-K12.txt | sed "2s/atg/ <start_codon>&<\/start_codon> /g"
   • stop codon
     • tag
     • cat infA-E.coli-K12.txt | sed "s/tag/ <stop_codon>&<\/stop_codon> /3" | sed "s/tga/ <stop_codon>&<\/stop_codon> /3" | sed "s/taa/ <stop_codon>&<\/stop_codon> /3"
   • terminator
