Figure 2.

Conservation of the over-abundant overlapping regulatory binding motifs. The conservation levels of the overlapping motifs were calculated between orthologous exons of human and (A) mouse, (B) rat, (C) cow, (D) dog, (E) chicken and (F) zebrafish. These calculations were performed for both significant (light-gray bars) and control (dark-gray bars) overlaps. The percent conservation level (y-axis) is indicated for both the over-abundant and the under-represented overlapping motifs (x-axis).
