Top ten motifs reported by each algorithm. Top scoring motifs found by both MEME and AlignACE and their respective E-values and scores. Candidate motifs reported in Figure 2 and 3 are denoted in bold. Note that the motifs found by the two programs are never identical. We used positional information to deduce overlapping motifs, and used the motifs identified by AlignACE to represent the consensus since AlignACE found more than one occurrence of the same motif within the same sequence and hence produced a more degenerate motif.

Information content and occurrences of candidate motifs reported in the paper. This table describes the Information content values as determined by MEME for each of the candidate motifs reported in the paper. Additionally, the occurrences of these motifs within their respective sub-set and the global occurrence within the whole genome (in intergenic regions) is reported.
