Statistical significance of selected cis-regulatory modules*.

*: common significant cis-regulatory modules that are considered as transcriptional regulators for 8 genes in the middle-up expression pattern that belong to the apoptosis pathway;‘+’|‘−’ TFBSs present on the forward | backward strand orientation;$: this CRM contains 3 TFBSs, binding sites of AP4R on the forward and of GATA, HEAT on the backward strand. Its average length is 288 bases while the minimum one has 169 bases and the maximum one has 485 bases. There are 8*0.75 = 6 instances of this CRM over 8 control regions of 8 genes;1: the background consists of 5,000 randomly selected genes;2: the entire corresponding pattern of gene expression (88 genes in this case);3: hyper-geometric p-value of this group vs. the background set or vs. the entire pattern.
