Comparison of minimal p-values and best found cutoffs for bicoid PWM calculated (i) in regulatory regions which are regulated by bicoid, (ii) in regulatory regions which are not regulated by bicoid, and (iii) in random sequences of the same length and with the same dinucleotide distribution as in the even-skipped stripe 2 enhancer.
