  1. aFisher's exact test for comparisons between specific motifs in tRNA SINE and the combined values of the other two databases. Repeat motif frequencies which have a significant departure compared to Bonferroni-corrected alpha for 25 comparisons (P-value < .002) are indicated with an asterisk (*).
