  1. aProbability of finding only as many polymorphic sites in the −35 and −10 sequences combined given the polymorphism frequency in between −35 and −10 signals for the same promoter; a significant probability (<0.05) provides evidence for higher conservation of the promoter regions than expected based on the conservation observed for the region between the −10 and the −35 region
