Each binding site has a Z-score associated with it. The Z-score is an estimate of how confidently STEME predicts this site is a binding site. A Z-score of 1 means STEME is sure that the site is a binding site. A Z-score of 0.5 means STEME thinks the site is equally likely to be a binding site or background genomic sequence. The Z-score is calculated from how well the site matches the motif and how well it fits STEME's background model.
