TL;DR: Gene-drug relationships for the clinical agents 5-fluorouracil and L-asparaginase exemplify how variations in the transcript levels of particular genes relate to mechanisms of drug sensitivity and resistance.

TL;DR: The mechanisms for automatically generating assertions about drugs and genes relevant to cancer and on a simple application, conceptual clustering of documents are reported on.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, by combining the results from all submissions, an F score of 0.9066 is feasible, and furthermore that the best result makes use of the lowest scoring submissions.

TL;DR: This work proposes to approach the detection of gene and protein names in scientific abstracts as part-of-speech tagging, the most basic form of linguistic corpus annotation, and demonstrates that this method can be applied to large sets of MEDLINE abstracts, without the need for special conditions or human experts to predetermine relevant subsets.

TL;DR: The annotation of GENETAG required intricate manual judgments by annotators which hindered tagging consistency, and the data were pre-segmented into words, to provide indices supporting comparison of system responses to the "gold standard", however, character- based indices would have been more robust than word-based indices.
