Figure 2. — Anatomy of an interaction. Biocurators curate data in structured notation (top) by conjoining terms from multiple vocabularies (middle), including the chemical branch of MeSH, 4 chemical qualifiers, 4 action term degrees, 55 action terms, NCBI gene symbols and 16 gene qualifiers. Multiplexing these short lists allow exponential combinations. Here, the biocurator additionally chose bisphenol A for C1 and ESR1 for G1 to complete the interaction. The notation is translated and displayed as a sentence on public CTD (yellow box).
