Recovery test for: (A) the C-MYC seed and (B) a random seed. Seeds of 51 known C-MYC targets or 51 random genes were submitted to Targetfinder.org. Then, repeatedly 10% of seed genes were randomly taken out and their similarity to the remaining genes was calculated. For consistent seeds, such as C-MYC, we observe a strong enrichment of top ranks (first bin of the histogram strongly enriched P < 10- 10. For random seeds the histogram shows no significant enrichment of the top ranks .
