  • See Table 1.

  • May contain multiple instances of the same motif (motifs are not clustered by similarity).

  • Groups derived from conserved gene adjacencies from the WIT database (Overbeek et al., 1999).

  • Groups derived from KEGG metabolic pathways (Ogata et al., 1999).

  • Groups derived from E. coli footprinted regulons.

  • AlignACE runs in individual organisms.

  • AlignACE runs on groups of closely related organisms pooled together.
