From: Cis-motifs upstream of the transcription and translation initiation sites are effectively revealed by their positional disequilibrium in eukaryote genomes using frequency distribution curves

Figure 4

Number of detected hexanucleotide motifs with a significant positional disequilibrium in different promoter datasets of the four model species. Diagram of hexanucleotide motifs enriched in the promoters of Arabidopsis, Caenorhabditis, Drosophila and Saccharomyces. Significant motifs exhibiting a relative positional disequilibrium that differed ≥ 6 fold SD from the background average in promoter datasets spanning -1500 bp to -1 bp of the transcription start site (TSS) or the translation start codon ATG [see Additional File 6]. Raw values of all significant hexanucleotides are given in Additional File 11. Background averages and SD were calculated as described in the material and methods.
