16. Characteristics are theoretically influenced by the alignment coverage. Therefore, we consider both CNG and ncRNA data sets (CNG-all, CNG-high, ncRNA-all, and ncRNA-high). Comparisons involving CNG-high and ncRNA-high are statistically sound, whereas comparisons with CNG-all and ncRNA-all are indicative.
