"intragenic promoters that we found occur more often on the antisense strands of these genes"
Wow, cool. The compactness of bacterial genomes continues to amaze me.

Our study comparing promoter existence and emergence in random vs genomic DNA is finally published!!!
TLDR: the E. coli genome has more promoters than random DNA (even in intergenic regions), and promoters emerge ~3x more readily from random DNA than genomic DNA. (1/2)
Promoters emerge three times more readily from random DNA than from genomic DNA.
