Note: Shown are top palindromic motifs 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;
CompareACE score, CompareACE score for similarity between the motif and its reverse complement;
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), or overlapped with a motif found by Neural Network Promoter Prediction (NNPP) software.
