Figure 4

Results for real data. (a) Number of tasRNA-associated sRNAs (i.e., provisional true discoveries) for given numbers of top-ranked sRNAs obtained from individual combinations. Combinations of individual R packages with TbT and default normalization methods are indicated by dashed and solid lines, respectively. For easy comparison with the previous study, results of DEGseq with the same parameter settings as in the previous study are also shown (solid yellow line). (b) Full ROC plots. Plots on left side (roughly the [0.00, 0.05] region on the x-axis) are essentially the same as those shown in Figure 4a. The R-code for producing Figure 4 is available in Additional file 5.
