Annotation of species used and additional data on accuracy associated with various one-class parameters. Table A. Sensitivity (Sen) and specificity (Spe) from one-class SVM using various word-lengths and the first 9 nt of the mature miRNA. Table B. Sensitivity (Sen) and specificity (Spe) obtained from one-class SVM to find the optimal number of the first k nucleotides using word length 3/4 3. Table C. Importance of the sequence features alone for classification. Table D. Optimized parameters for each one-class method. Table E. Annotation for all used species. Table F. The size of each dataset after removing similar structures of mature microRNAs. Table G. Accuracy in classification of All-miRNA dataset after masking to remove homologs. Table H. One-Class results obtained from the secondary features only and secondary features plus sequence features
