n1 = number of motifs in dataset 1; n2 = number of motifs in dataset 2; O = number of motifs in common between dataset 1 and dataset 2; E = expected = (n1 * n2)/T; where T is the total number of possible hexamers, that is, 4,096; F = overlap factor = O/E; factor >1 indicates more overlap than expected of two independent groups. Z score is the difference between O and E normalised by the standard deviation (derived from simulation). P values in bold are those significant after Bonferonni correction assuming P <0.05/9.
