Note:
Now there is no proper testing set to evaluate
the exact precision and recall of the program. We tested
the program by the SGD data (downloaded at March 15, 2003),
which contains manually curated literatures of yeast genes.
The testing set is randomly selected from those genes with
more than 10 references, for sequences with fewer related
references may give unstable results.
Users should keep in mind that it is just
a primary estimate, because SGD only collects those articles
whose focus is the single gene and particularly from yeast,
while MedBlast will try to look for all related articles
in all species.
