Supplementary Material

• Predicted Fur clusters in the E. coli genome with Ri > 3 bits (24 site M9 model)

• Sequence walker analysis of oligos used in EMSA (PDF) (analysis directory)

• Ordered list of predicted Fur sites in the E. coli genome with Ri > 3 bits (original 11 site M12 model)

If you need background information about information theory you can explore my web site. You may find these two resources particularly useful:

• Information Theory Primer, With an Appendix on Logarithms
• A Glossary for Molecular Information Theory and the Delila System.
  A good starting point would be the definition of a bit.
