Table 1 Assessment of performance on known ncRNA found in GeneDB

Type of ncRNA	Annotated in Genedb v4	All 6 genomes	4 of 6 genomes
rRNA	106	22 (21%)	92 (87%)
snRNA	6	3 (50%)	5 (83%)
snoRNA	353	110 (31%)	188 (53%)
tRNA	65	64 (98%)	65 (100%)
misc RNA	29	28 (97%)	29 (100%)
Total	559	227 (41%)	379 (68%)

Using the set of known ncRNA as the standard to evaluate the performance of our algorithm in detecting ncRNAs, the numbers of ncRNA molecules detected are listed, according to families, including those conserved in all six genomes or in 4/6 genomes (note that 6/6 conservation is a subset of the 4/6 conservation). The percent of the ncRNA family that was detected in the screen is listed in the parentheses.
