The number of state groups in miRNA model

We scanned the whole human genome using the architecture that
consists of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 100 state groups, each of which
has 30, 15, 10, 7, 6 and 3 tied states, respectively.

The prediction/detection performances of these architectures is
shown in Figure S2. We observed that architecture with 20 or more
state groups shows comparable detection/prediction performance.


An architecture with 40 or more state groups seems slightly better than
that with 20 or 30 state groups. Therefore, we chose an architecture
with 50 state groups in our main manuscript.
