Recent genome-wide studies of bacterial transcription have revealed large numbers of promoters located inside genes. In this issue of the Journal of Bacteriology, Thomason and colleagues (J. Bacteriol. 197:18-28, 2015, doi:10.1128/JB.02096-14) map transcription start sites in Escherichia coli on an unprecedented scale. This work provides important insights into the regulation of transcripts that initiate inside genes and sources of variability between studies aimed at identifying these RNAs.
