  1. The sensitivity (sn) and specificity (sp) with which VARUS and the manual method find introns in the reference genome annotation. The last two columns shows the number of reads or read pairs (spots) in millions that have been downloaded from SRA and from how many different runs they stem. Better values are typeset in boldface
