>The thing is, can you ever observe constant genotypic variation?
Of course. The FNR binding sites resemble CAP sites closely. The two have
been compared using information theory (Eiglmeier, Molec Microb
1989 3(7): 869-878).

The regions far away from all binding sites.

Maybe they guessed? Maybe the third base of codons (which is not completely
silent)?
