Table 4.

Some evaluation examples based on the sentences derived from BioCreative V BEL track sample set

Example 1

The nuclear protein pigpen has an affinity for carbohydrate structures a carbohydrate-binding domain resides in the C terminus of the molecule and can be preferentially inhibited by saccharides, most notably N-acetyl-d-galactosamine and chondroitin sulphate.
Type Result BEL statement

Gold a(CHEBI:"N-acetyl-D-galactosamine") -| p(HGNC:FUS)
a(CHEBI:"chondroitin sulfate") -| p(HGNC:FUS)
BELIEF True positive a(CHEBI:"N-acetyl-D-galactosamine") -| p(HGNC:FUS)
False positive a(CHEBI:"N-acetyl-D-galactosamine") -| a(CHEBI:"chondroitin sulfate")


Example 2
60 or 90 μM galangin induced AhR nuclear translocation in both cell type (Figure 11A, lanes 7, 8; Figure 11B, lane 6).

Type Result BEL statement

Gold a(CHEBI:galangin) -> act(p(HGNC:AHR))
BELIEF True positive a(CHEBI:galangin) -> tloc(p(HGNC:AHR))


Example 3
In the absence of CdCl2 pre-treatment, ionizing radiation increased both expression and phosphorylation of c-Jun in MRC5CV1 cells but not in AT5BIVA cells.

Type Result BEL statement

Gold bp(GOBP:"response to ionizing radiation") -> p(HGNC:JUN,pmod(P))
bp(GOBP:"response to ionizing radiation") -> p(HGNC:JUN)
BELIEF False positive p(PH:placeholder) -| (a(CHEBI:"cadmium dichloride") -> p(HGNC:JUN,pmod(P)))
False positive p(PH:placeholder) -| (a(CHEBI:"cadmium dichloride") -> p(HGNC:JUN))
False positive p(HGNC:JUN) −− a(CHEBI:"cadmium dichloride")


Example 4
The sensitivity to Fas-induced cell death was reduced in HGF transfectants, which was reversed by the presence of anti-HGF antibody

Type Result BEL statement

Gold p(HGNC:HGF) -| (act(p(HGNC:FAS)) -> bp(GOBP:"cell death"))
BELIEF Partly true positive p(PH:placeholder) -| (p(HGNC:FAS) -> bp(GOBP:"cell death"))
Partly true positive p(HGNC:FAS) −− bp(GOBP:"cell death")
False positive p(HGNC:HGF) −− bp(GOBP:"cell death")

Every example contains a sentence with the gold standard and predicted BEL statements. In addition, the results of the predicted BEL statements are provided.
