Effect of using a fixed window size with different step sizes.

The ability to identify the H/ACA snoRNA in background sequence was evaluated using a variety of fixed window sizes and step sizes. The percent of H/ACA snoRNA identified using a fixed window size and step size is provided for window sizes from 80 to 200 and step sizes of 5, 25 and 50. There are a total of 29 known H/ACA snoRNA. The percent of snoRNA detected for a given window size drops with increasing step size. The number of H/ACA snoRNA detected using all of the window sizes with a step size of 5 was 72.4%.
