How common are intragenic transcriptional regulatory elements in bacteria?

29 May 2020 0 2K Report

For bacteria like ecoli.

For regulatory elements that control transcription, how common is it for them to overlap with the sequence of the upstream gene?

I know I can find examples in the literature, but I have difficulty determining how rare it is overall.
