Table 2.

The number of rRNAs annotated and predicted in the genomes that were examined.

The table gives the number of annotations, and splits this into those matching predictions on the same strand, on the other strand, and not found. The total number of full model predictions is given. Novel predictions are full model predictions not matching any annotation on the same strand, and include those annotated on the other strand. Numbers in parentheses indicate the number of genomes. It should be noted that the eukaryotic annotated count is somewhat uncertain due to ambiguous rRNA annotations. The genomes which were analyzed were from the GenomeAtlas database, a database over all available fully sequenced genomes.
