The number of the predicted ncRNA candidates which overlap the loci of experimentally determined transcripts in literature. In parenthesis, the total length (nt) for each region is mentioned. Since the transcript list provided by Davis et al. (Supporting Table 1 in [51]) does not contain strand information, we took only positional overlap into account when we examine the overlaps between the present ncRNA candidates and the transcripts reported by Davis et al..
