Application of an Integrative Computational Framework in Trancriptomic Data of Atherosclerotic Mice Suggests Numerous Molecular Players

Table 3

Common TF motif families in the promoters of 36 genes belonging to cluster 2 and to the categories “immune response” and “inflammatory response.” The percentage column depicts the percentage of genes whose promoters have at least one match with the respective motif family. Percentages and P value calculations are based on mouse promoters.
