Table 1 Enumeration of core promoter elements in the human genome, with and without considering conservation in the mouse genome

From: Genome-wide analysis of core promoter elements from conserved human and mouse orthologous pairs

Motif (core, PWM score cutoffs)

  1. aOne-tailed Fisher's exact test of the real:randomized ratio in columns 4 and 5 versus columns 2 and 3. The p-value in the BRE row, for example, indicates that 1952/1476 is significantly greater than 2696/2503.
  2. bThe "core score" was found to be uninformative for the BRE element, so only the PWM score was used in this case.
