Table 5. Rules for disambiguation of name as gene or non-gene.

Acronym rule: If an acronym pair is detected, and the full name matches with the gene dictionary or ends with an F-term, then the short name will be assigned a gene sense.

Appositive rule: If NAME has an appositive, and the appositive ends with an F-term, then NAME will be assigned a gene sense.

Dictionary matched name in relation rule: If two or more names are matched with the dictionary and they appear together in a conjunction with other candidate mentions, then all the names will be assigned a gene sense.

Synonym rule: If NAME1 and NAME2 are synonyms (matched with the same dictionary entry), and they appear in the same article, then both NAME1 and NAME2 will be assigned a gene sense.
