Table 3.

Expression of A. thaliana genes for the four promoter classes.

Gene sets All genes Only TATA-box Only TC[-39,-26]-PLMs Only TATAΔ-PLMs [-39,-26]-PLM-less
HE 39.2% 53.8% (< 1e-30) 36.7% (NS) 38.1% (NS) 34.5% (1e-22)
LE 60.8% 46.2% (2e-24) 63.3% (NS) 61.9% (NS) 65.5% (< 1e-30)
SR 40.4% 41% (NS) 44.1% (< 1e-30) 37.4% (< 1e-30) 40.2% (NS)
WR 11.1% 10.3% (NS) 9.3% (NS) 13.2% (< 1e-30) 11.2% (NS)

WR-HE+ 2.2% 2.4% (NS) 1.6% (NS) 2.2% (NS) 2.3% (NS)
WR-LE+ 3.4% 2.5% (NS) 3.1% (NS) 4.0% (NS) 3.8% (NS)
SR-HE+ 5.5% 8.5% (1e-5) 5.3% (NS) 5.3% (NS) 4.6% (8e-6)
SR-LE+ 7.4% 5% (< 1e-30) 8.6% (NS) 6.8% (NS) 8.1% (< 1e-30)

The 8 expression categories are described in the Figure 7. HE, High Expression; LE, Low Expression; SR Small Range of expression; WR, Wide Range of expression; HE+ Highest Expressions; LE+, Lowest Expressions. The whole gene set contains the 11161 genes for which we have both a known TSS and CATMA-expression data. We performed two one-sided Fisher exact tests allowing the identification of higher (bold) or lower (underlined) percentages in a gene set in comparison with all other genes, i.e. genes within the whole gene set minus genes within the considered gene set. NS indicates non-significant difference. P-values in parenthesis are less than 5% with the Bonferroni correction.
