Note: Shown are motifs similar to known E. coli transcription factor binding sites with CompareACE score ≥ 0.7
Operon, operon number assigned by public version of FGENESB;
Motif, motif number assigned by AlignACE for a motif in a particular operon;
Motif sequence, sequence of a motif provided AlignACE, with active columns marked in red;
MAP, maximum a posteriori probability value computed by AlignACE for the motif;
Similar E. coli motifs: similar sequence of known E.coli transcription factor binding sites (Robison et al., 1998;   http://arep.med.harvard.edu/ecoli_matrices)
CompareACE score, CompareACE score for similarity between the motif and the similar E.coli transcription factor binding site;
Additional criteria, provides information on whether a motif  similar to a known E.coli transcription factor binding site was also conserved in 22 other
                bacterial species (McGuire and Church, 2000), overlapped with a predicted ribosomal binding site (RBS) in G. sulfurreducens
                or overlapped with a motif found by Neural Network Promoter Prediction (NNPP) software.
