Table 2 Performance comparison between psRNA-target, Target-align and p-TAREF.

*TP = True Positive, FP = False positive, TN = True Negative, FN = False negative, Sn = sensitivity, Sp = Specificity, MCC = Mathew Correlation Coefficient; Ac = Accuracy.
For experimentally validated targets, derived from two different sources, the tools were compared for performance. In the given table, p-TAREF was compared and found performing better than the compared tools for the given datasets. Performance related testing details are given in text, Additional File 1 as well as at server's performance page. The observed MCC value suggests about the robustness of model implemented in p-TAREF.
