MicroRNA and pseudo classification score distribution

All hairpins in T. gondii were classified as either microRNA class (score ⩾ 0.5) or pseudo (score < 0.5). The distribution of the microRNA score is shown in the left box and whisker plot, whereas the pseudo prediction is shown in the right box. The horizontal line indicates the cutoff value (score > 0.9) we used for selecting microRNAs and call them putative microRNA hairpins.
