Fig 4. miRDeep2 results by score.

Fig 4

MiRDeep2 scores range from -10 to 10, with a higher number corresponding to increased likelihood that the miRNA is genuine. A cut-off of 0 was used to be included in this study. MiRNA already annotated in miRBase are represented in black and gray: black represents miRNA with experimental validation, and gray represents miRNA previously predicted solely by homology to the human genome that have now been validated in this study. Novel miRNA are shown in a color corresponding to their miRDeep2 score; this score is partially determined by the availability of any previously annotated miRNA, which would inherently result in lower scores for our primates with no information in miRBase.
