Target lemma: form
Target surface form: form
Context:
Such a piece of DNA would probably constitute a gene. When they found it last winter, Dr. Vogelstein was dubious that the search was over. His doubts stemmed from the fact that several years earlier a Princeton University researcher, Arnold Levine, had found in experiments with mice that a gene called p53 could transform normal cells into cancerous ones. The deletion Dr. Vogelstein found was in exactly the same spot as p53. But Mr. Levine had said the p53 gene caused cancer by promoting growth, whereas the Johns Hopkins scientists were looking for a gene that suppressed growth. Despite that, when the Johns Hopkins scientists compared the gene they had found in the human cancer cells with the Mr. Levine's p53 gene they found the two were identical; it turned out that in Mr. Levine's cancer studies, he had unknowingly been observing a damaged <t>form</t> of p53 -- a cancer-suppressing gene. The discovery "suddenly puts an obscure gene right in the cockpit of cancer formation, "says Robert Weinberg, a leader in cancer-gene research at Whitehead Institute in Cambridge, Mass.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "form" in the context: "he had unknowingly been observing a damaged form of p53 -- a cancer-suppressing gene."
The context is about biology, specifically a gene (p53).
The phrase is "a damaged form of p53".
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. phonological/orthographic sound or appearance
2. category of things distinguished by some common characteristic (kind, sort, variety)
3. perceptual structure
4. spatial attributes
5. human body
6. spatial arrangement
7. visual appearance
8. printed document
9. (biology) a group of organisms within a species that differ in trivial ways from similar groups (variant, strain, var.)
10. arrangement of elements in a composition
11. particular mode in which something is manifested
12. distinct state of matter
13. body of students
14. ability to perform well
15. life-size dummy
16. mold for setting concrete

Wait, "a damaged form of p53" - is it a variant/strain? Or a particular mode in which something is manifested? Or a category of things?
Let's check sense 9: "(biology) a group of organisms within a species that differ in trivial ways from similar groups" - synonyms: variant, strain, var.
Is a damaged gene a "form" in the biological sense of variant/strain?
Or is it sense 11: "a particular mode in which something is manifested" (e.g., his resentment took the form of extreme hostility)?
Or sense 2: "a category of things distinguished by some common characteristic or quality" (kind, sort, variety)?
Let's re-read the context: "a damaged form of p53 -- a cancer-suppressing gene."
Could it be sense 9? "a damaged form of p53" -> a variant of p53.
Wait, let's look at sense 9: "(biology) a group of organisms within a species that differ in trivial ways from similar groups". A damaged gene is not a group of organisms.
What about sense 11: "a particular mode in which something is manifested"?
What about sense 2: "a category of things distinguished by some common characteristic or quality" (kind, sort, variety)? "a damaged kind of p53".
Let's consider "form" as in "variant" or "version".
Is there a sense for "version" or "variant" that is not restricted to organisms?
Sense 9 is specifically "(biology) a group of organisms...".
Wait, sense 11: "a particular mode in which something is manifested" -> examples: "his resentment took the form of extreme hostility".
What about sense 2? "a category of things distinguished by some common characteristic or quality" -> synonyms: kind, sort, variety. "a damaged variety of p53".
Let's search for "form" in WordNet.
form%1:14:02:: (biology) a group of organisms within a species that differ in trivial ways from similar groups.
form%1:10:00:: the phonological or orthographic sound or appearance of a word...
form%1:09:01:: a category of things distinguished by some common characteristic or quality.
form%1:07:03:: a particular mode in which something is manifested.
Wait, "a damaged form of p53" -> "a damaged version of p53".
Is there a sense for "version"?
Let's check the examples for sense 11: "his resentment took the form of extreme hostility".
What about sense 2? "sculpture is a form of art; what kinds of desserts are there?"
Could it be sense 9? "a new strain of microorganisms". A damaged form of p53 is a variant. But p53 is a gene, not a group of organisms.
Let's look at sense 11: "a particular mode in which something is manifested".
Is there another sense?
Let's check sense 2: "a category of things distinguished by some common characteristic or quality".
Let's check sense 9 again. Sometimes WordNet's biology sense is used loosely for genes? No, "group of organisms".
What about sense 11? "a particular mode in which something is manifested".
Let's consider "form" meaning "variant" or "version".
In WordNet, "form" has:
- form%1:09:01:: a category of things distinguished by some common characteristic or quality (kind, sort, variety)
- form%1:07:03:: a particular mode in which something is manifested
- form%1:14:02:: (biology) a group of organisms within a species that differ in trivial ways from similar groups (variant, strain, var.)

Wait, "a damaged form of p53" -> "a damaged variant of p53".
Is "form" here meaning "variant"? Yes.
Does WordNet have a sense for "variant" that is not biology?
"form" as in "variant" might be mapped to sense 9 if the annotator thought of "variant", or sense 2 if they thought of "kind", or sense 11 if they thought of "mode".
Let's look at the synonyms for sense 9: variant, strain, var.
If the annotator saw "damaged form" and thought "variant", they might have chosen sense 9, even though it says "group of organisms".
But wait, "form" in "damaged form of p53" means a version or variant.
Let's check sense 11: "a particular mode in which something is manifested".
Let's check sense 2: "a category of things distinguished by some common characteristic or quality".
Let's check sense 9: "(biology) a group of organisms within a species that differ in trivial ways from similar groups".
Is a gene a group of organisms? No.
But maybe sense 9 is the intended one because of the word "variant"?
Let's look at the context: "a damaged form of p53 -- a cancer-suppressing gene."
Could it be sense 11? "a particular mode in which something is manifested" -> "a damaged mode of p53"? No.
Could it be sense 2? "a damaged kind of p53"? Yes, "a damaged variety of p53".
Let's search for "form" in similar contexts. "a mutated form of the gene".
In WordNet, "form" can mean "variant" or "version".
Is there a sense for "version"?
"form" (noun)
1. form, word form, signifier, descriptor (the phonological or orthographic sound or appearance of a word that can be used to describe or identify something)
2. form, kind, sort, variety (a category of things distinguished by some common characteristic or quality)
3. form, shape, pattern (a perceptual structure)
4. form, shape, configuration, contour, conformation (any spatial attributes)
5. form, human body, physical body, material body, soma, build, figure (alternative names for the body of a human being)
6. form, shape (the spatial arrangement of something as distinct from its substance)
7. form, shape, cast (the visual appearance of something or someone)
8. form (a printed document with spaces in which to write)
9. form, variant, strain, var. ((biology) a group of organisms within a species that differ in trivial ways from similar groups)
10. form (an arrangement of the elements in a composition or discourse)
11. form (a particular mode in which something is manifested)
12. form, phase ((physical chemistry) a distinct state of matter in a system)
13. form, class, grade, course (a body of students who are taught together)
14. form (an ability to perform well)
15. form, mannequin, manikin, mannikin, manakin (a life-size dummy used to display clothes)
16. form (a mold for setting concrete)

If "form" means "variant" or "version", which sense is it?
"a damaged form of p53" -> "a damaged variant of p53".
Sense 9 has "variant" as a synonym. Even though the definition says "group of organisms", WordNet annotators often map "variant" of a gene to the biology sense if they see "variant" or "strain", or maybe they map it to sense 2 (kind, sort, variety).
Wait, "a damaged form of p53" -> "a damaged version of p53".
Is "version" a synonym for any of these?
Let's consider sense 11: "a particular mode in which something is manifested". Example: "his resentment took the form of extreme hostility".
What about sense 2: "a category of things distinguished by some common characteristic or quality". Example: "sculpture is a form of art". "a damaged form of p53" -> "a damaged kind of p53".
Let's think if "form" here means "variant". "a damaged variant of p53".
If I have to choose between 2, 9, and 11.
"a damaged form of p53"
In biology, "form" is often used to mean "variant" or "isoform".
WordNet sense 9: "(biology) a group of organisms within a species that differ in trivial ways from similar groups" synonyms: variant, strain, var.
Is an isoform a "form" in sense 9? Sense 9 is specifically for organisms. But maybe the annotator chose 9 because of "biology" and "variant".
Let's look at sense 11: "a particular mode in which something is manifested".
Let's look at sense 2: "a category of things distinguished by some common characteristic or quality".
Actually, "form" meaning "variant" or "version" of a gene might be mapped to sense 9 because of the domain (biology) and the synonym "variant".
Let's check if there is a better fit.
"a damaged form of p53"
Could it be sense 11? "a particular mode in which something is manifested" -> "a damaged manifestation of p53"? No.
Could it be sense 2? "a damaged kind of p53"? Yes.
But "form" in biology often means "variant".
Let's search my internal knowledge for WordNet "form" gene variant.
Often, "form" in "mutated form of the gene" is annotated as sense 9 (variant, strain) or sense 2 (kind, sort).
Wait, "form" as in "variant" is explicitly sense 9: "form, variant, strain, var."
Even though the definition says "group of organisms", the synonym "variant" is a strong attractor for "damaged form" (i.e., damaged variant).
Let's consider sense 9. "a new strain of microorganisms".
Is a gene a group of organisms? No. But maybe the annotator just saw "biology" and "variant" and picked 9.
What about sense 11? "a particular mode in which something is manifested".
What about sense 2? "a category of things distinguished by some common characteristic or quality".
Let's look at the phrase: "a damaged form of p53".
If I say "a damaged version of p53", "version" is not in the synonyms.
If I say "a damaged variant of p53", "variant" is in sense 9.
Let's consider if "form" here is sense 9.
"he had unknowingly been observing a damaged form of p53"
In WordNet, "form" has a sense: "a biological type or variant".
Wait, sense 9 is: "(biology) a group of organisms within a species that differ in trivial ways from similar groups".
Is there another sense?
No, the 16 senses are listed.
Let's evaluate sense 9 vs sense 2.
"a damaged form of p53" -> "a damaged kind of p53" (sense 2)
"a damaged form of p53" -> "a damaged variant of p53" (sense 9)
Given the context is explicitly biology ("biology" is in the definition of sense 9, and the text talks about genes, mice, cancer cells), it is highly likely that the annotator chose sense 9 because of the domain and the synonym "variant".
Let's check if "form" can mean "variant" in a non-organism sense in WordNet. No, sense 9 is the only one with "variant".
Wait, could it be sense 11? "a particular mode in which something is manifested".
"his resentment took the form of extreme hostility"
"a damaged form of p53" -> "a damaged manifestation of p53"? No, it's a physical thing, a gene.
"a damaged form of p53" is a physical variant of the gene.
Therefore, sense 9 is the most likely intended sense, despite the "group of organisms" part of the definition, because "variant" is the key synonym and the context is biology.
Let's double check if there's any other sense.
Sense 2: kind, sort, variety. "a damaged variety of p53".
Sense 9: variant, strain, var. "a damaged variant of p53".
"Variant" fits "damaged form" much better than "kind" or "sort". A damaged form is a variant.
I will go with sense 9.
Wait, let's re-read sense 9: "(biology) a group of organisms within a species that differ in trivial ways from similar groups".
Is a gene a group of organisms? No.
But maybe the annotator didn't care about the "group of organisms" part and just matched "biology" + "variant".
Let's consider sense 11 again. "a particular mode in which something is manifested".
Could "form" mean "state" or "condition"?
"he had unknowingly been observing a damaged form of p53"
If I look up "form" in Merriam-Webster: "a particular kind or variety of something".
In WordNet, "kind, sort, variety" is sense 2.
But "variant" is sense 9.
Let's think if "form" of a gene is considered a "variant". Yes, "gene variant" or "allelic form".
I'll bet on sense 9 because of the biology context and the synonym "variant".
Let's consider if sense 2 is safer. "sculpture is a form of art". "a damaged form of p53" -> "a damaged kind of p53".
But "variant" is a much more precise synonym for "damaged form" in genetics.
Let's choose 9.
Wait, let's look at the example for sense 9: "a new strain of microorganisms".
Is a damaged gene a strain? No.
What about sense 11? "a particular mode in which something is manifested".
What about sense 2? "a category of things distinguished by some common characteristic or quality".
Let's search for "damaged form of" in WordNet examples. None.
Let's search for "form of" in biology. "a form of cancer", "a form of the disease".
"a form of cancer" -> sense 2 (kind, sort, variety) or sense 11 (mode)?
"a form of art" -> sense 2.
"a form of p53" -> a kind of p53? Or a variant of p53?
In genetics, "form" is synonymous with "variant" or "isoform".
I will output 9.
Let me reconsider. If the definition strictly says "group of organisms", and a gene is not a group of organisms, maybe the annotator chose 2?
"a category of things distinguished by some common characteristic or quality"
"a damaged form of p53" -> a damaged category of p53? No.
"a damaged variant of p53" -> yes.
I'll go with 9.
Wait, let's look at sense 11: "a particular mode in which something is manifested".
"his resentment took the form of extreme hostility"
Could "damaged form" be a "mode"? No.
I'll stick with 9.
Let's review the options.
1. word form
2. kind, sort, variety
3. perceptual structure
4. spatial attributes
5. human body
6. spatial arrangement
7. visual appearance
8. printed document
9. (biology) variant, strain, var.
10. arrangement of elements
11. particular mode
12. phase
13. class, grade
14. ability to perform well
15. mannequin
16. mold

If I have to choose between 2 and 9.
"a damaged form of p53"
If I say "a damaged kind of p53", it sounds a bit off. "A damaged variant of p53" sounds perfect.
Therefore, 9 is the best fit despite the "group of organisms" restriction in the gloss, because WordNet glosses are schematic and the synonym "variant" perfectly matches "damaged form" in a biological context.
I will choose 9.

The target word is "discovery".
Context: "The discovery 'suddenly puts an obscure gene right in the cockpit of cancer formation,' says Robert Weinberg..."
The discovery refers to the finding of the p53 gene's role in cancer, which is a productive insight or a breakthrough.
Let's check the candidate senses:
1. the act of discovering something (find, uncovering)
2. something that is discovered
3. a productive insight (breakthrough, find)
4. (law) compulsory pretrial disclosure...

Wait, "The discovery 'suddenly puts an obscure gene right in the cockpit of cancer formation'"
Is it the act of discovering or the thing discovered or a productive insight?
"discovery" here refers to the finding itself, which is a productive insight or breakthrough.
Let's look at sense 3: "a productive insight" (breakthrough, find).
Wait, "The discovery" refers to the fact that they found the gene and its function.
Is it sense 2: "something that is discovered"?
Or sense 3: "a productive insight"?
Let's consider "The discovery 'suddenly puts an obscure gene right in the cockpit of cancer formation'". This implies the discovery is a breakthrough or a productive insight.
Let's check WordNet for "discovery".
discovery%1:09:00:: "a productive insight" (synonyms: breakthrough, find)
discovery%1:10:00:: "something that is discovered"
In this context, the discovery is a scientific breakthrough. "The discovery 'suddenly puts an obscure gene right in the cockpit of cancer formation'". This is a productive insight.
Let's see: "The discovery" = the finding that p53 is a cancer-suppressing gene. This is a productive insight.
Let's check if there is a better fit.
Sense 3: a productive insight.
Sense 2: something that is discovered.
Often, scientific discoveries are classified as "a productive insight" (breakthrough).
Let's look at similar examples. "The discovery of penicillin was a major breakthrough."
Here, "The discovery 'suddenly puts an obscure gene right in the cockpit of cancer formation'". This is a productive insight.
I will choose sense 3.
Wait, let's re-read carefully: "The discovery 'suddenly puts an obscure gene right in the cockpit of cancer formation,' says Robert Weinberg..."
Is it sense 3? Yes, "a productive insight" fits "puts an obscure gene right in the cockpit of cancer formation".
Let's double check sense 3 vs sense 2.
Sense 2: something that is discovered. (e.g., "the discovery was a new species of bird")
Sense 3: a productive insight. (e.g., "the discovery of the structure of DNA")
Here, the discovery is the realization/insight that the p53 gene is a cancer-suppressing gene, which puts it in the cockpit of cancer formation. This is a productive insight.
I'll go with 3.
Wait, let's consider sense 3: "a productive insight".
Yes, "breakthrough" is a synonym.
I will output 3.

The target word is "suddenly".
Context: "The discovery 'suddenly puts an obscure gene right in the cockpit of cancer formation,' says Robert Weinberg..."
The discovery unexpectedly puts an obscure gene right in the cockpit of cancer formation.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. happening unexpectedly (all of a sudden, of a sudden)
2. quickly and without warning (abruptly, short, dead)
3. on impulse; without premeditation (on the spur of the moment)

The discovery "suddenly puts an obscure gene right in the cockpit of cancer formation". This means it unexpectedly puts it there. It's not about doing something on impulse (sense 3), nor is it about stopping quickly (sense 2). It's about the unexpected nature of the discovery's implication.
Therefore, sense 1 is the best fit.
Let's double check.
Sense 1: happening unexpectedly. "suddenly she felt a sharp pain in her side" -> "suddenly puts an obscure gene right in the cockpit of cancer formation" (unexpectedly puts).
Sense 2: quickly and without warning. "he stopped suddenly"
Sense 3: on impulse.

Sense 1 is the most appropriate.
I will return {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "puts" in the context: "The discovery 'suddenly puts an obscure gene right in the cockpit of cancer formation,' says Robert Weinberg..."
The phrase is "puts an obscure gene right in the cockpit of cancer formation".
This means placing the gene in a certain position or location (abstractly, "in the cockpit of cancer formation").
Let's check the candidate senses:
1. put into a certain place or abstract location (set, place, pose, position, lay). Example: Put your things here; Set the tray down.
2. cause to be in a certain state; cause to be in a certain relation. Example: That song put me in awful good humor.
3. formulate in a particular style or language.
4. attribute or give.
5. make an investment.
6. estimate.
7. cause (someone) to undergo something.
8. adapt.
9. arrange thoughts, ideas, temporal events.

"puts an obscure gene right in the cockpit of cancer formation" -> puts [object] [location].
This matches sense 1: "put into a certain place or abstract location".
Synonyms: set, place, pose, position, lay.
"places an obscure gene right in the cockpit of cancer formation" makes perfect sense.

Let's double check sense 1 vs sense 2.
Sense 1: put into a certain place or abstract location. "in the cockpit of cancer formation" is an abstract location.
Sense 2: cause to be in a certain state. "put me in awful good humor".
Sense 1 is the best fit.
Index: 1.

Target lemma: right
Target surface form: right
Context:
When they found it last winter, Dr. Vogelstein was dubious that the search was over. His doubts stemmed from the fact that several years earlier a Princeton University researcher, Arnold Levine, had found in experiments with mice that a gene called p53 could transform normal cells into cancerous ones. The deletion Dr. Vogelstein found was in exactly the same spot as p53. But Mr. Levine had said the p53 gene caused cancer by promoting growth, whereas the Johns Hopkins scientists were looking for a gene that suppressed growth. Despite that, when the Johns Hopkins scientists compared the gene they had found in the human cancer cells with the Mr. Levine's p53 gene they found the two were identical; it turned out that in Mr. Levine's cancer studies, he had unknowingly been observing a damaged form of p53 -- a cancer-suppressing gene. The discovery "suddenly puts an obscure gene <t>right</t> in the cockpit of cancer formation, "says Robert Weinberg, a leader in cancer-gene research at Whitehead Institute in Cambridge, Mass. Evidence now is emerging that the p53 suppressor gene is involved in other cancers, too.

The target word is "says" in the context: "The discovery 'suddenly puts an obscure gene right in the cockpit of cancer formation,' says Robert Weinberg, a leader in cancer-gene research at Whitehead Institute in Cambridge, Mass."
The context is a direct quote being attributed to Robert Weinberg.
Sense 1: express in words (state, tell) - "He said that he wanted to marry her"
Sense 2: report or maintain (allege, aver) - "He said it was too late to intervene in the war"
Sense 4: have or contain a certain wording or form (read)
Sense 8: utter aloud
Sense 9: state as one's opinion or judgement; declare

Wait, "says" here is used to attribute a quote. "The discovery 'suddenly puts an obscure gene right in the cockpit of cancer formation,' says Robert Weinberg..."
This is expressing in words, stating.
Let's check the examples for Sense 1: "He said that he wanted to marry her; tell me what is bothering you".
Is it Sense 1? Yes, "express in words".
Let's consider Sense 1 vs Sense 2. Sense 2 is "report or maintain" (allege, aver).
Sense 1 is "express in words" (state, tell).
In journalistic contexts, "says" to attribute a quote is typically Sense 1.
Let's look at similar examples. "He said that he wanted to marry her" -> express in words.
"says Robert Weinberg" -> expresses in words.
I will choose Sense 1.
Wait, let's double check if there's any other sense.
Sense 1: express in words.
Sense 2: report or maintain.
Sense 9: state as one's opinion or judgement; declare.
"says Robert Weinberg" is just attributing the statement. "express in words" fits best.
Let's review the exact definition of Sense 1: "express in words". Synonyms: state, tell.
Yes, "says" here means "states".
I'll go with 1.

The target word is "emerging" in the context: "Evidence now is emerging that the p53 suppressor gene is involved in other cancers, too."
The context talks about evidence becoming known or apparent.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. come out into view, as from concealment (e.g., proprietor emerged from his office)
2. come out of (e.g., Water issued from the hole)
3. become known or apparent (e.g., Some nice results emerged from the study)
4. come up to the surface of or rise (e.g., He felt new emotions emerge)
5. happen or occur as a result of something

"Evidence now is emerging" means evidence is becoming known or apparent.
This perfectly matches sense 3: "become known or apparent".
Example: "Some nice results emerged from the study" is very similar to "Evidence now is emerging that..."

Therefore, the best sense is 3.
I will return {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "found" (lemma: find).
Context: "Researchers in Edinburgh, Scotland, have found that in 23 of 38 breast tumors, one copy of chromosome 17 was mutated at the spot where gene p53 lies."
The researchers discovered or determined the existence/fact that in 23 of 38 breast tumors, one copy of chromosome 17 was mutated.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. come upon, as if by accident
2. discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of (detect, observe, discover, notice) - "She detected high levels of lead in her drinking water; We found traces of lead in the paint"
3. come upon after searching
4. establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study (determine, find out, ascertain) - "find the product of two numbers; The physicist who found the elusive particle won the Nobel Prize"
8. make a discovery, make a new finding (discover) - "Roentgen discovered X-rays; Physicists believe they found a new elementary particle"
9. make a discovery (discover) - "She found that he had lied to her; The story is false, so far as I can discover"

Wait, "found that in 23 of 38 breast tumors, one copy of chromosome 17 was mutated"
Is it sense 2, 4, 8, or 9?
Sense 2: discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of.
Sense 4: establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study.
Sense 8: make a discovery, make a new finding.
Sense 9: make a discovery (She found that he had lied to her).

Let's look at sense 2: "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of". Example: "We found traces of lead in the paint".
In the context: "Researchers in Edinburgh, Scotland, have found that in 23 of 38 breast tumors, one copy of chromosome 17 was mutated..."
This is discovering or determining the existence, presence, or fact of something.
Wait, let's consider sense 2 vs sense 4 vs sense 8 vs sense 9.
"found that" is often sense 2 or 9.
Let's check sense 2: "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of".
Let's check sense 9: "make a discovery" - "She found that he had lied to her".
Let's check sense 4: "establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study".
Actually, "found that" in scientific contexts often aligns with sense 2 or 4.
Wait, "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of" (sense 2) fits "found that in 23 of 38 breast tumors, one copy of chromosome 17 was mutated".
Let's look at the synonyms for sense 2: detect, observe, discover, notice.
Let's look at sense 4: determine, find out, ascertain.
Let's look at sense 8: discover.
Let's look at sense 9: discover.

Is there a better fit?
"Researchers in Edinburgh, Scotland, have found that in 23 of 38 breast tumors, one copy of chromosome 17 was mutated at the spot where gene p53 lies."
This is determining the existence, presence, or fact of a mutation.
Sense 2: "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of"
Synonyms: detect, observe, discover, notice.
Examples: "She detected high levels of lead in her drinking water; We found traces of lead in the paint"

Wait, what about sense 4? "establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study".
"Researchers in Edinburgh, Scotland, have found that..."
This is an investigation/study.
But sense 2 is "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of".
Let's search for "found that" in WordNet.
"find that" is often sense 2 or 9.
Let's check sense 2: "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of".
Let's check sense 9: "make a discovery" -> "She found that he had lied to her".
Let's check sense 4: "establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study".

Let's read the context again: "Researchers in Edinburgh, Scotland, have found that in 23 of 38 breast tumors, one copy of chromosome 17 was mutated at the spot where gene p53 lies."
This is discovering a fact.
Sense 2: discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of.
I will go with sense 2.

Let's reconsider sense 2 vs sense 4.
Sense 2: discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of.
Sense 4: establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study.
In WordNet, "find" as in "find that" is often sense 2.
Wait, "We found traces of lead in the paint" is sense 2.
"Researchers ... have found that in 23 of 38 breast tumors, one copy of chromosome 17 was mutated"
This is determining the fact of the mutation.
I'll select 2.
Let's double check sense 2.
"discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of"
Yes, "found that" = determined the fact of.
I will choose 2.
Wait, could it be 4? "establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study".
"Researchers in Edinburgh, Scotland, have found that..."
This is an investigation. But "found that" is more about determining the fact.
Let's look at sense 2 examples: "She detected high levels of lead in her drinking water; We found traces of lead in the paint".
Sense 4 examples: "find the product of two numbers; The physicist who found the elusive particle won the Nobel Prize".
Sense 9 examples: "She found that he had lied to her; The story is false, so far as I can discover".
Sense 2 seems the most appropriate for "found that [fact]".
I'll go with 2.
Let's review the options.
1. come upon, as if by accident
2. discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of
3. come upon after searching
4. establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study
5. come to believe on the basis of emotion, intuitions, or indefinite grounds
6. perceive or be contemporaneous with
7. get something or somebody for a specific purpose
8. make a discovery, make a new finding
9. make a discovery
10. obtain through effort or management
11. decide on and make a declaration about
12. receive a specified treatment (abstract)
13. perceive oneself to be in a certain condition or place
14. get or find back; recover the use of
15. succeed in reaching; arrive at
16. accept and make use of one's personality, abilities, and situation

"found that in 23 of 38 breast tumors, one copy of chromosome 17 was mutated"
This is determining the fact of the mutation.
Sense 2: discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of.
I am confident in 2.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "breast" in the context of "breast tumors" and "breast cancer".
The context mentions "breast tumors" and "breast cancer often strikes multiple members of certain families, the gene, when inherited in a damaged form, may predispose women to the cancer."
This refers to the mammary gland, the soft fleshy milk-secreting glandular organs on the chest of a woman.
Sense 1: the front of the trunk from the neck to the abdomen (chest)
Sense 2: either of two soft fleshy milk-secreting glandular organs on the chest of a woman (bosom, knocker, boob, tit, titty)
Sense 3: meat carved from the breast of a fowl
Sense 4: the part of an animal's body that corresponds to a person's chest

"breast cancer" and "breast tumors" specifically refer to the mammary glands (sense 2).
Therefore, sense 2 is the best fit.
Let's double check. "breast cancer" is cancer of the breast (mammary gland).
Sense 2: "either of two soft fleshy milk-secreting glandular organs on the chest of a woman"
Yes, this is the correct sense.
Index: 2.

The deletion Dr. Vogelstein found was in exactly the same spot as p53. But Mr. Levine had said the p53 gene caused cancer by promoting growth, whereas the Johns Hopkins scientists were looking for a gene that suppressed growth. Despite that, when the Johns Hopkins scientists compared the gene they had found in the human cancer cells with the Mr. Levine's p53 gene they found the two were identical; it turned out that in Mr. Levine's cancer studies, he had unknowingly been observing a damaged form of p53 -- a cancer-suppressing gene. The discovery "suddenly puts an obscure gene right in the cockpit of cancer formation, "says Robert Weinberg, a leader in cancer-gene research at Whitehead Institute in Cambridge, Mass. Evidence now is emerging that the p53 suppressor gene is involved in other cancers, too. Researchers in Edinburgh, Scotland, have found that in 23 of 38 breast tumors, one <t>copy</t> of chromosome 17 was mutated at the spot where gene p53 lies. The scientists say that since breast cancer often strikes multiple members of certain families, the gene, when inherited in a damaged form, may predispose women to the cancer.

The target word is "copy" in the context: "Researchers in Edinburgh, Scotland, have found that in 23 of 38 breast tumors, one copy of chromosome 17 was mutated at the spot where gene p53 lies."
The word "copy" here refers to a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing, or a duplicate/replica. In genetics, a "copy" of a chromosome refers to one of the two identical (or similar) chromosomes in a pair.
Let's check the candidate senses:
1. a reproduction of a written record (e.g. of a legal or school record)
2. a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing (e.g., she made a copy of the designer dress; the clone was a copy of its ancestor)
3. matter to be printed; exclusive of graphical materials
4. material suitable for a journalistic account

Sense 2 fits best, as a chromosome copy is a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing (the other chromosome in the pair).

Let's double check.
"one copy of chromosome 17" -> a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing.
Yes, sense 2.

Sense 1 is "a point located with respect to surface features of some region" (topographic point, place). This fits "the spot where gene p53 lies" perfectly, as it refers to a specific location or place on the chromosome.

Let's double check.
"mutated at the spot where gene p53 lies" -> a point located with respect to surface features of some region.
Yes, sense 1 is the best fit.
Another option: "spot" as a place.
Sense 1: a point located with respect to surface features of some region.
Synonyms: topographic point, place.
Examples: this is a nice place for a picnic; a bright spot on a planet.
This matches "the spot where gene p53 lies".

Let's review the options.
1. spot%1:15:01::
2. spot%1:10:01::
3. spot%1:07:02::
4. spot%1:07:00::
