  1. a The homologue dataset was contructed using the Homologene resource on the NCBI website (http://www.ncbi.nih.gov).
  2. b The promoter region is the area from -1,000 to 200 bp relative to transcription start.
  3. c Intergenic regions refer to an area 50,000 bp away from transcription start. Fewer intergenic regions are available than genes because of gaps in sequencing.
  4. d The score is determined by the positive predictive value which is a conservative estimate of the fraction of found transcription factor binding sites that are true hits. It is calculated as (%Observed - %Intergenic)/(%Observed).
  5. eThe complete homologue numbers refer the the number of human/mouse homologous pairs identified using the Homologene resources.
  6. f The conserved dataset is a subset of the Homologene dataset that consists of only those genes for which homologous pairs contain a conserved binding site.
  7. g The quality is determined by the positive predictive value which is a conservative estimate of the percentage of found transcription factor binding sites that are true hits. It is calculated as (%Conserved Observed - %Predicted Conserved)/(%Conserved Observed).
