Additional files

Additional data file 1:

The motif width (window size), size of the flanking regions, and the Laplacian pseudocount (L) were varied. Two sets of sequences were used: (A) with the core ERE intact, and (B) without the core ERE. Overall, single nucleotides appeared to hold certain discriminative power for separating ER binding from ER non-binding sequences.

Sequence logos for: (A) the 45 binders, after entropy optimization, with 3 bp flanking sequences, shown with its reverse complement, and (B) 116 non-binder sites, obtained from taking the both strands of 58 non-binding loci.
