  1. A TF is said to be an activator/repressor of a module if the P-value of observing TF-gene pairs of the module having positively/negatively (time-shifted) correlated profiles is ≤ 0.001. The P-value is the probability that an observation would be made by chance, and is calculated using the cumulative binomial distribution [39]: P ( x ≥ n 0 ) = ∑ x = n 0 N [ N ! x ! ( N − x ) ! ] p x ( 1 − p ) N − x MathType@MTEF@5@5@+=feaafiart1ev1aaatCvAUfKttLearuWrP9MDH5MBPbIqV92AaeXatLxBI9gBaebbnrfifHhDYfgasaacH8akY=wiFfYdH8Gipec8Eeeu0xXdbba9frFj0=OqFfea0dXdd9vqai=hGuQ8kuc9pgc9s8qqaq=dirpe0xb9q8qiLsFr0=vr0=vr0dc8meaabaqaciaacaGaaeqabaqabeGadaaakeaacqWGqbaucqGGOaakcqWG4baEcqGHLjYScqWGUbGBdaWgaaWcbaGaeGimaadabeaakiabcMcaPiabg2da9maaqahabaWaamWaceaadaWcaaqaaiabd6eaojabcgcaHaqaaiabdIha4jabcgcaHiabcIcaOiabd6eaojabgkHiTiabdIha4jabcMcaPiabcgcaHaaaaiaawUfacaGLDbaaaSqaaiabdIha4jabg2da9iabd6gaUnaaBaaameaacqaIWaamaeqaaaWcbaGaemOta4eaniabggHiLdGccqWGWbaCdaahaaWcbeqaaiabdIha4baakiabcIcaOiabigdaXiabgkHiTiabdchaWjabcMcaPmaaCaaaleqabaGaemOta4KaeyOeI0IaemiEaGhaaaaa@56D6@ where N is the total number of genes in a module, n0 is the number of genes that have temporal relationships with the TF, and p is the probability of observing an arbitrary gene in the genome that has a temporal relationship with the TF.
