Table 2. Comparison between snoReport and ptRNApred.

Organism	RNA class	Total number of sequencesa	Number of sequences identified by snoReport (% of total number of sequences)	Number of sequences identified by ptRNApred (% of total number of sequences)
M. musculus	snoRNA	1603	737(46%)	1589(99%)
H. sapiens	snoRNA	1641	852(52%)	1611(98%)
	snoU13b	245b	0(0%)b	245(100%)b

A murine and a human dataset of snoRNA was abstracted from Ensembl (49) and performance of ptRNApred was compared to snoReport as a well-established tool for snoRNA prediction. ptRNApred achieved higher sensitivity than snoReport (99 versus 46% on the murine and 98 versus 52% on the human set of sequences). Regarding snoU13, a member of the snoRNAs, there is an even larger difference in the sensitivity (100 versus 0%).
