-35/-10 boxes that overlap with a PCE by 5 bp or more were counted. If the box is shorter than 5 bp, those fully overlapping with PCE were counted. ^*Number of known -35/-10 boxes that exist in the regions analyzed in our work. ^†Number of -35 boxes that overlap with PCE. ^§Number of -10 boxes that overlap with PCE.
