Additional file 3:

Known RNA genes in the yeast genome, covered by predicted RNA structures. The annotation was taken from the Saccharomyces Genome Database. Structured elements with reported Math values larger than 0.5 and 0.9, respectively, are shown. SE denotes the sensitivity to detect functional classes of known RNAs, ali refers to the number of elements in the input alignments, mpi is the mean percent identity of the windows.

Additional file 8:

Structured RNAs providing evidence for snoRNAs. The scores are given as reported by snoSCAN for C/D-box snoRNAs and snoGPS for H/ACA snoRNAs. The score-cutoff, as reported by the indiviual predictions tools, was defined by analysis of all known snoRNAs from yeast. We used the minimal reported score as cutoff (1 stem snoGPS = 14; 2 stem snoGPS = 21; snoSCAN = 14). RNA elements that were positively predicted by both, the 1 and 2 stem scanner mode of snoGPS are given in bold type.

Predicted RNA structures in intergenic regions. The element_id is decomposed as follows: StartCoord_Length_Chr_strand. The file contains all RNA structure elements found on the Math ≥ 0.5 cut-off level. File is formatted as intergenic RNA elements overlapping with data from David et al, Davis et al, Samanta et al and with SAGE/EST data.

Analysis of potential duplexes formed by predicted intergenic ncRNA transcripts. First, we filtered potential duplexes by fast searches for overlap regions with wublast (Gish, W., personal communication) with parameters that also allow for G-U basepairs, as described in Steigele et al [3]. Second, the thermodynamically preferred duplex between two predicted RNA molecules was calculated by RNAcofold. In most cases, only very large overlaps between predicted RNA molecules were found.
