Note - I am one of the authors of this paper.

There is a sentence in the paper that could be worded more carefully. I was pointed to this by a colleague. The sentence is "Gordonia sp. strain UCD-TK1 contains 5,032 coding sequences, and 64 noncoding RNAs."

It would be more accurate to say "The annotation of Gordonia sp. strain UCD-TK1 contains predicted 5,032 coding sequences, and 64 putative noncoding RNAs."

This would make it more clear that we do not have experimental evidence regarding how many coding sequences or ncRNAs are present in this organism.
