Putative promoter sequences and Poly(A) signals (PASs) of the VZV transcripts

	Search range (nt)	Nr. of motifs	Nr. of transcripts	Mean Distance	SD
GC-box	− 150 to 0	41	55	93.28	33
CCAAT-box	−150 to −40	19	27	93.91	23
TATA-box	−35 to −25	26	44	31.67	1,5
PAS	−50 to 0	61	169	16.11	8.86

The search range position 0 is the position of the TSS in GC-, CCAAT- and TATA-boxes and is the position of the TES for PAS. The distance was calculated between the position of the TSS/TES and the last nucleotide of the motif
