True positives and false positives of the 14 motif-detection programs compared. (a) Nucleotide-level true positive (nTP) is the number of nucleotide positions in both known sites and predicted sites; nucleotide-level false positive (nFP) is the number of nucleotide positions not in known sites but in predicted sites. (b) Site-level true positive (sTP) is the number of known sites overlapped by predicted sites; site-level false positive (sFP) is the number of predicted sites not overlapped by known sites.
