Figure 1From: MCOIN: a novel heuristic for determining transcription factor binding site motif widthDiversity of E. coli motifs. Sequence logos for four E. coli motifs illustrate the diversity of motifs in terms of information content profile. (a) FruR has a number of perfectly conserved positions in the centre of the motif, flanked by positions which are less well-conserved. (b) The gapped motif of DeoR illustrates the opposite: two well-conserved segments are separated by an unconserved ‘gap’. (c) All positions in the MalI motif are perfectly conserved. (d) The Nac motif has few well-conserved positions.Back to article page
