The score based on the Halpern-Bruno (HB) model assigns lower p-values to functional binding sites and higher p-values to nonfunctional binding sites than the simple score, defined as the average of the single species scores in at that position in the alignment. Both methods are far superior to p-values from S. cerevisiae alone. See text for details.
