The "selected" column shows the number of times out of twenty runs of a forward stepwise selection that selected the corresponding feature. Hand-picked features are printed in bold face. Feature selection on the aa (above the separating line) and seq (below) feature set were done independently of each other. The seq feature set fully includes mono. No di- or tri-peptide string was selected consistently.
