N represents the number of outputs found by the tool; mFP represents the number of False Positives after merging fragments or ORFs referencing the same IS element; eIS, pNov, and nIS represent the number of mFPs classified into categories IS element with a high level of evidence, Distant or putative novel IS element, and Improbable or not an IS element, respectively; pNovDR is putative Novel Discovery Rate; nISDR is Improbable or not an IS element Discovery Rate, and pNov/nIS shows the ratio between the number of putative novel IS elements and improbable or not an IS elements.
