Appendix 2—figure 1. Calibration of expression measurements with and without cAMP.
(A) Measurements of (in 250 µM cAMP) vs (in 0 µM cAMP) for promoters in which the CRP binding site has been replaced by a non-functional ‘null’ site. As expected, these data lie close to the diagonal (dotted line). (B) Upon closer inspection, however, we found that values consistently fell slightly below corresponding values. Using least-squares fitting we found that, on average, where uncertainties indicate a 95% confidence interval (reflecting 1.96 times the standard error of the mean in log space). To correct for this bias, we plot and fit models to and throughout this paper.
