Detecting DNA regulatory motifs by incorporating positional trends in information content

Table 4 Percentage of correctly identified sites using different options in BioProspector

The bimodal examples (crp, abf1) use three options: first block width, gap length and second block width. The values for these options are separated by colons in the table. For example, 5:6:5 corresponds to two blocks of five positions separated by a gap of six positions. The gap ranges are denoted by a dash. For the unimodal motifs (rap1, reb1), there is only one option for the block width, denoted by W. Entries labeled with an asterisk correspond to a trial in which the correct motif was not found, but one or two sites were correctly predicted by chance, with a spurious motif.
