[i] Genes were assessed as either in ATG deserts or not and were assessed for the presence of single or multiple TSS among the non-TATAA promoters in the data set. There is an enrichment of multiple TSS among promoters residing in ATG deserts. P-value, 0.0233; odds ratio, 3.028; accuracy, 0.791; sensitivity, 0.118; specificity, 0.958.
