Factors with more than seven sites detectable between the two species are shown. The p values given pertain to the observed percentage of conserved sites, and were determined using the Fisher's exact test. Over/under, specifies over-conservation or under-conservation of the sites of the corresponding transcription factor (by Fisher's exact test) at the 5% significance level; *Significant under-representation after p value correction (using Bonferroni). Detectable, total number of human transcription factor binding sites located in promoters of mouse orthologous genes; % conserved, percentage of detectable sites that are in conserved regions; IC, information content (total); Length, length of the motif; N/A, there is no available position-specific score matrix model for this transcription factor; TFBS, transcription factor binding site.
