List of Entrez Gene ID, gene name and species found in PMC2680910. The Central Vote column indicates the number of curators that selected the gene as central; “Y”: gene mentioned in the article is detected; “-”:gene mentioned was missed; “C”=indicates central gene as determined by majority vote, and in the systems it means that the gene was ranked high by the system (gene ranked higher than non central genes); “Total genes detected”: totality of gene mentions provided by a given system (what the system considered a gene). FP and FN stand for false positive and negative, respectively. aCurated output by manual curation (2 curators, 1-2) and system-assisted curation (5 curators, but 3 are shown, 3-5).
