Searching for evolutionary distant RNA homologs within genomic sequences using partition function posterior probabilities

Table 3 Mean percent error as a function of query RNA flank size.

Query RNA flank size	Probalign	SSEARCH	BLAST	ClustalW
50	35.4*	39.3	41.9	48.5
100	36.8*	40.8	44.5	51.4
150	38.5*	43.3	45.9	53.2

For each flank size there are 3,429 datasets (see Methods Section for description of benchmark). As in Table 1 about 105 datasets per flank size are omitted on which BLAST does not return any output. Bold indicates the best performance and * indicates Friedman rank test P-value < 0.05.
