E-value scores histogram sample from a MAST run for a final motif set constructed for a pair species from the Arthobacter family, including the wanted host Arthrobacter pascens (A) and unwanted host Arthrobacter tumbea (B). In both A and B, mean and median E-values are indicated. Wanted host motifs were calculated by a STREME run using promoter sequences as primary set and intergenic regions as control set. Unwanted host anti-motifs were calculated by a STREME run using intergenic regions as primary set and promoter sequences as control set. Mean and median E-values of the wanted host are lower than mean and median E-values for the unwanted host, with a p-value of 7.184 × 10⁻⁸.
