[i] The sets were scored by averaging the excess of introns in the boundary regions, compared to the random expectation, for modules of diameters from 15 to 30 Å. The p values were estimated by drawing 10,000 (100,000 for set 4) random subsets from set 1 and asking how many have equal or greater average excesses.
