Enrichment analysis of a set of cis-regulatory regions. (a) The current prevailing methodology associates only proximal binding events with genes and performs a gene-list test of functional enrichments using tools originally designed for microarray analysis. (b) GREAT’s binomial approach over genomic regions uses the total fraction of the genome associated with a given ontology term (green bar) as the expected fraction of input regions associated with the term by chance.
