  1. RS measures of two genes, a and b. TF a and TF b represent the TFs whose TFBSs exist in the promoter of a and b, respectively. 1In Eq. (1), N is the number of TFs whose binding sites are in the collected TFBS data, m=|TF a |, n=|TF b | and k=|TF a ∩TF b |. 2Equations (4) and (5) only show the final equations of the two works. The equation details can be found in the original manuscripts [7, 8].
