The most common motifs and their strand-specific counts are displayed. The binomial test (Binom.) p-value is the chance that these strand-specific frequencies deviate from an expected value of 50%. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test values provide a measurement of the difference between the distribution of the two different strand-specific motifs, for each motif pair. The p-values shown are not corrected for multiple tests.
