  1. Bonferroni-corrected P values from Wilcoxon rank sum tests comparing the tAIg values or optimal codon content of genes containing the motifs and those lacking them. The “greater” and “less” indicate the alternative hypotheses that the tAIg values or optimal codon content of the former group of genes are greater and less than those of the latter, respectively
