To resolve this ambiguity we adopted a comparative approach, using the program nucmer from the MUMmer package [22] to map the reads to the genome sequence of Schu S4.
To resolve this ambiguity, we adopted the following rule: a promoter (and the corresponding gene) was categorized as C/EBP+PPARγ+ if at least one of its associated adipogenic enhancer was C/EBP+PPARγ+.
