a) The best algorithm among EMD-X (X = 2~5) are compared with component algorithms, b) the multi-restart algorithms, and c) the random algorithms. The best performances in terms of nPC or sPC among algorithms of a same category are highlighted in bold. d) Both MEME and MotifSampler are highlighted because they have the same performance in terms of sPC.
