The standard deviation fold difference for the most significant peak is shown for each shared motif of the translation start site datasets. Motif distribution curves were conducted and analyzed for all possible hexanucleotide motifs that have frequency disequilibria which exceeded ≥ 6 fold SD from the background average. Background average and SD were calculated as described in the material and methods. The table is sorted according to the fold differences found in the Arabidopsis promoters.
