Target lemma: reverse
Target surface form: reverse
Context:
Ray White in Utah and Walter Bodmer, a researcher in Great Britain, are close to finding another gene involved with some types of colon cancer, thought to be on chromosome 5. Dr. Minna believes people who inherit a defective gene somewhere on one of their two copies of chromosome 3 are especially prone to lung cancer. Recently, he and others reported that the retinoblastoma suppressor gene may also be involved in some lung cancers, as well as several other more common cancers, too. Where these discoveries will lead, scientists can only speculate. Already two major pharmaceutical companies, the Squibb unit of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., are collaborating with gene hunters to turn the anticipated cascade of discoveries into predictive tests and, maybe, new therapies. Some researchers say new cancer drugs to slow or <t>reverse</t> tumor growth may be based on the suppressor proteins normally produced by the genes. The idea would be to administer to patients the growth-controlling proteins made by healthy versions of the damaged genes.

*   Target lemma: `reverse`
    *   Target surface form: `reverse`
    *   Context: "Some researchers say new cancer drugs to slow or <t>reverse</t> tumor growth may be based on the suppressor proteins normally produced by the genes."
    *   Meaning: In this context, "reverse tumor growth" means to change the process of growth (which is an increase in size/number of cells) to a process of shrinkage or regression.

    *   Sense 1: `change to the contrary` (synonyms: change by reversal, turn; example: "The trend was reversed").
    *   Sense 2: `turn inside out or upside down` (synonyms: turn back, invert).
    *   Sense 3: `reverse the position, order, relation, or condition of` (synonyms: invert; example: "invert the subject and the verb").
    *   Sense 4: `cancel officially` (synonyms: revoke, annul, lift, countermand, repeal, overturn).
    *   Sense 5: `rule against` (synonyms: overrule, overturn, override, overthrow).

    *   Sense 4 and 5 are legal/official actions (cancel, rule against), which don't fit "tumor growth."
    *   Sense 2 is physical orientation (inside out/upside down), which doesn't fit "tumor growth."
    *   Sense 3 is about position, order, or relation (like in grammar), which doesn't fit "tumor growth."
    *   Sense 1 is "change to the contrary." If tumor growth is the trend/process, reversing it means changing it to the opposite (shrinkage). This fits the context of a biological process or trend.

    *   "The trend was reversed" (Sense 1) is very similar to "reverse tumor growth" (reversing the trend of growth).
    *   Sense 1 is the most general sense of changing a direction or trend to its opposite.

    *   Sense 1: change to the contrary.
    *   Context: reverse tumor growth.
    *   Match: Yes.

    *   Key phrase: "tumor growth"

    *   Sense 1: progression from simpler to more complex forms (e.g., growth of culture).
    *   Sense 2: gradual beginning or coming forth (e.g., emergence).
    *   Sense 3: process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous or more important (e.g., increase in unemployment, growth of population).
    *   Sense 4: (pathology) an abnormal proliferation of tissue (as in a tumor).
    *   Sense 5: vegetation that has grown (e.g., growth of trees).
    *   Sense 6: something grown or growing (e.g., growth of hair).
    *   Sense 7: (biology) process of an individual organism growing organically (e.g., maturation, development).

    *   The context is "tumor growth".
    *   Is it the *process* of the tumor getting larger (Sense 3) or the *tumor itself* (Sense 4)?
    *   Sentence: "...new cancer drugs to slow or reverse tumor growth..."
    *   "Slow or reverse" typically applies to a process. You slow down the *process* of growth.
    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 4 again: "(pathology) an abnormal proliferation of tissue (as in a tumor)".
    *   "Proliferation" can be a process or the result.
    *   Let's compare Sense 3 ("process of becoming larger") and Sense 4 ("abnormal proliferation of tissue").
    *   In medical contexts, "tumor growth" often refers to the process of the tumor increasing in size.
    *   However, Sense 4 specifically mentions "pathology" and "tumor".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 4: "an abnormal proliferation of tissue (as in a tumor)". This often refers to the growth *itself* (the mass).
    *   Let's re-read Sense 3: "a process of becoming larger or longer or more numerous...".
    *   If the sentence says "slow or reverse tumor growth", it's referring to the *process* of the tumor increasing in size.
    *   Wait, "proliferation" in Sense 4 is also a process. "An abnormal proliferation of tissue".
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 3: "increase in unemployment", "growth of population". These are general increases.
    *   Let's look at Sense 4 again: "(pathology) an abnormal proliferation of tissue (as in a tumor)". This is a specialized medical sense.
    *   In the phrase "tumor growth", "growth" can be the mass (the tumor itself) or the process of the mass increasing.
    *   "Slow or reverse [the process of the tumor getting bigger]".
    *   If "growth" meant the mass (Sense 4), you wouldn't "slow" a mass; you would "shrink" it or "remove" it. You "slow" the *growth* (the process).
    *   Wait, "proliferation" is the process of rapid reproduction of cells. So Sense 4 ("an abnormal proliferation of tissue") describes the process of the tumor growing.
    *   Let's check Sense 3 again: "a process of becoming larger...".
    *   Sense 4 is more specific to pathology and tumors.
    *   Let's re-evaluate: "slow or reverse tumor growth".
    *   If "growth" = "proliferation of tissue", then "slow or reverse proliferation" makes perfect sense.
    *   If "growth" = "process of becoming larger", it also makes sense.
    *   Usually, in these WSD tasks, the most specific sense is preferred. Sense 4 is specifically about pathology and tumors.

    *   Sense 3: General increase.
    *   Sense 4: Pathological proliferation (specifically mentions tumors).
    *   The context is explicitly about cancer and tumors.

    *   "slow or reverse tumor growth"
    *   If growth = the tumor (the mass), you can't "slow" a mass.
    *   If growth = the proliferation (the process), you can "slow" it.
    *   Sense 4 defines growth as "an abnormal proliferation of tissue". Proliferation is a process.
    *   Therefore, Sense 4 fits perfectly and is more specific than Sense 3.

Target lemma: healthy
Target surface form: healthy
Context:
Dr. Minna believes people who inherit a defective gene somewhere on one of their two copies of chromosome 3 are especially prone to lung cancer. Recently, he and others reported that the retinoblastoma suppressor gene may also be involved in some lung cancers, as well as several other more common cancers, too. Where these discoveries will lead, scientists can only speculate. Already two major pharmaceutical companies, the Squibb unit of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., are collaborating with gene hunters to turn the anticipated cascade of discoveries into predictive tests and, maybe, new therapies. Some researchers say new cancer drugs to slow or reverse tumor growth may be based on the suppressor proteins normally produced by the genes. The idea would be to administer to patients the growth-controlling proteins made by <t>healthy</t> versions of the damaged genes. It may even be possible to replace defective genes with healthy versions, though no one has come close to doing that so far.

Candidate senses:

    *   The context discusses "defective genes" and "damaged genes."
    *   The target word "healthy" is used to describe "versions of the damaged genes" and "replace defective genes with healthy versions."
    *   In this biological/medical context, "healthy" means not defective, not damaged, or functioning normally (free from disease/infirmity).

    *   Sense 1 (reasonable): Not applicable.
    *   Sense 2 (wholesome/promoting health): Not applicable. The genes themselves aren't "promoting health" in the sense of a diet; they are the normal, non-defective versions.
    *   Sense 3 (considerable): Not applicable.
    *   Sense 4 (free from infirmity or disease): This fits best. A "healthy version" of a gene is one that is not defective or diseased.
    *   Sense 5 (financially secure): Not applicable.

    *   Sense 4: "having or indicating good health in body or mind; free from infirmity or disease". While usually applied to organisms, in the context of genes, "healthy" is a common way to describe non-mutated, normally functioning genes (as opposed to "defective" or "damaged").

    *   11: express in words (state, tell)

    *   The sentence is: "In any case, says Dr. Minna... 'We're witnessing...'"
    *   This is a direct quote. Dr. Minna is expressing a thought or a statement in words.
    *   Sense 1 (utter aloud) is about the physical act.
    *   Sense 3 (report or maintain) is often used for claims or allegations.
    *   Sense 7 (state as opinion/judgment) is possible, but "says" in a quote is usually more general.
    *   Sense 11 (express in words; state, tell) is the most general sense for reporting speech or a statement.

    *   Sense 11: "express in words" (synonyms: state, tell). Example: "He said that he wanted to marry her."
    *   Sense 3: "report or maintain" (synonyms: allege, aver). Example: "He alleged that he was the victim of a crime."
    *   Sense 1: "utter aloud". Example: "She said 'Hello' to everyone."

    In the context of a quote ("...says Dr. Minna, 'We're witnessing...'"), the speaker is stating a fact or an observation. Sense 11 is the standard general sense for "to say something" (expressing a thought in words). Sense 1 is too focused on the physical act of utterance. Sense 3 is too focused on alleging/maintaining a claim.

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 11 vs Sense 1.
    Sense 1: "utter aloud"
    Sense 11: "express in words"

    Usually, in journalistic writing (which this looks like), "says" is used to attribute a statement. "Express in words" (Sense 11) covers both spoken and written statements and is the most general.

    Wait, let's look at Sense 11 again: "express in words | synonyms=state, tell | examples=He said that he wanted to marry her; tell me what is bothering you".
    And Sense 1: "utter aloud | examples=She said 'Hello' to everyone in the office".

    The quote "We're witnessing..." is a statement of opinion/fact expressed in words. Sense 11 fits best as the general attribution verb.

    Let's check Sense 7: "state as one's opinion or judgement; declare". Dr. Minna is giving a professional judgment. However, "says" in a quote is typically the most basic sense of expressing words.

    Comparing Sense 11 and Sense 1 again.
    Sense 1 is very literal (the physical act).
    Sense 11 is the communicative act of stating something.

    In "says Dr. Minna, '...'", the focus is on the content of the statement being attributed to her. This aligns best with Sense 11.

    *   Sense 1: utter aloud (physical)
    *   Sense 3: report/maintain (allege)
    *   Sense 7: state opinion/judgment
    *   Sense 11: express in words (state/tell)

    Sense 11 is the most comprehensive and standard for this usage.

    *   Sense 1: "be a witness to" (Example: "She witnessed the accident and had to testify in court"). This is too specific to a single event and often implies legal implications.

    *   Sense 3: the act of discovering something (The process/action of finding)
    *   Sense 4: a productive insight (breakthrough, find)

    *   The sentence is: "We're witnessing the discovery of one of the most important steps in the genesis of cancer."
    *   "Witnessing the discovery" suggests the *act* or *process* of finding out how cancer starts.
    *   However, "discovery" often refers to the *breakthrough* itself in scientific contexts.
    *   Let's compare Sense 3 (the act) and Sense 4 (a productive insight/breakthrough).
    *   "Witnessing the discovery of [something]" usually refers to the event/act of finding it.
    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 2: "something that is discovered".
    *   If the sentence is "the discovery of one of the most important steps", is "discovery" the *act* of finding the step, or is the "discovery" the *fact* that the step exists?
    *   Usually, "the discovery of X" refers to the act of discovering X (Sense 3) or the breakthrough (Sense 4).
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 4: "breakthrough, find".
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 3: "find, uncovering".
    *   In scientific contexts, "the discovery of [a gene/a process]" is often treated as a breakthrough.
    *   However, "witnessing the discovery" strongly implies the *act* or the *event* of uncovering.
    *   Let's re-read: "We're witnessing the discovery of one of the most important steps..."
    *   If I say "the discovery of America", it's the act of finding it.
    *   If I say "This discovery changes everything", it's the breakthrough (Sense 4) or the thing discovered (Sense 2).
    *   In "witnessing the discovery of...", the focus is on the process/event of uncovering.

    *   Sense 2: something that is discovered.
    *   Sense 3: the act of discovering something.
    *   Sense 4: a productive insight (breakthrough).

    Looking at the context again: "Where these discoveries will lead... turn the anticipated cascade of discoveries into predictive tests... We're witnessing the discovery of one of the most important steps..."

    In the first two instances ("these discoveries", "cascade of discoveries"), it refers to the *things* discovered (Sense 2) or the *breakthroughs* (Sense 4).
    In the target instance ("witnessing the discovery of..."), it refers to the *act* of uncovering the step.

    Let's check Sense 3 again: "the act of discovering something | synonyms=find, uncovering".
    Let's check Sense 4 again: "a productive insight | synonyms=breakthrough, find".

    "Witnessing the discovery" -> Witnessing the act of uncovering.

    Wait, let's look at how WordNet usually distinguishes these.
    Sense 3: the act of discovering.
    Sense 4: a productive insight.

    If the "discovery" is "one of the most important steps", it's more likely the *act* of finding that step.

    Let's double-check Sense 2: "something that is discovered".
    "The discovery of the gene" could be the gene itself (the thing discovered). But usually, that's "the discovered gene".

    Comparing 3 and 4:
    Sense 3 is the process/act.
    Sense 4 is the result/insight.

    "Witnessing the discovery" sounds like the act.

    Let's look at the phrase "the discovery of [X]".
    If X is a "step in the genesis of cancer", the discovery is the act of finding that step.

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 4 (breakthrough). Is "the discovery of one of the most important steps" a breakthrough? Yes.
    Is it the act of discovering? Yes.

    Usually, "witnessing the [act]" is more common than "witnessing the [insight]".

    Let's look at the synonyms again.
    Sense 3: find, uncovering.
    Sense 4: breakthrough, find.

    Actually, "find" is in both.

    Let's try to see if "discovery" here refers to the *event* (Sense 3) or the *result* (Sense 4).
    "We're witnessing the discovery of..." -> We are seeing it happen. This points to the act/event.

    Sense 3: the act of discovering something.
    Sense 4: a productive insight.

    If you witness a discovery, you are witnessing the act of uncovering.

    Let's check if Sense 2 fits better. "Something that is discovered".
    "We're witnessing the [something that is discovered] of one of the most important steps..." - No, that doesn't fit grammatically. It would be "We're witnessing the discovery, which is one of the most important steps..."

    So it's between 3 and 4.
    Sense 3: the act of discovering.
    Sense 4: a productive insight.

    "Witnessing the discovery of X" = Witnessing the act of discovering X.

    Final check:
    Context: "We're witnessing the discovery of one of the most important steps in the genesis of cancer."
    Sense 3: the act of discovering something.
    Sense 4: a productive insight.

    The act of discovering the step is what is being witnessed.

    Wait, let me think about "discovery" in scientific papers. Often "the discovery of X" is used to refer to the breakthrough itself.
    But "witnessing" strongly suggests the process/event.

    Let's look at the other "discoveries" in the text:
    "Where these discoveries will lead" -> Sense 4 (breakthroughs) or Sense 2 (things discovered).
    "cascade of discoveries" -> Sense 4 (breakthroughs) or Sense 2 (things discovered).

    The target "discovery" is in the phrase "witnessing the discovery of".

    If I say "I witnessed the discovery of the tomb", I mean I was there when they found it (the act).
    If I say "The discovery of the tomb changed archaeology", I mean the breakthrough/fact of the find.

    "We're witnessing the discovery of one of the most important steps..."
    This sounds like the process is unfolding.

    Therefore, Sense 3 is the most precise.

    *   Sense 5: `important in effect or meaning` (Significant/Measurable change)

    *   Sense 3 and 4 are about people/status, so they are out.
    *   Sense 5 is often used for statistical significance or a noticeable change (e.g., "significant change in tax laws").
    *   Sense 2 is for "crucial" moments or crisis resolution. While the discovery is crucial, "steps in the genesis of cancer" describes a biological process/discovery of significance.
    *   Sense 1 is the general sense of "of great significance or value."

    *   The sentence says "one of the most important steps in the genesis of cancer."
    *   This refers to the scientific significance of the discovery.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 2: Sense 2 is more about a "crucial moment" or "vital to resolution." Sense 1 is broader "great significance or value."
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 5: Sense 5 is "important in effect or meaning" (significant).
    *   In scientific contexts, "important steps" usually means they are of great significance to the overall understanding (Sense 1).

    *   Sense 1: "of great significance or value" -> Fits perfectly.
    *   Sense 2: "vital to the resolution of a crisis" -> A bit too narrow.
    *   Sense 5: "important in effect or meaning" -> Often used for changes or differences.

    The discovery of a step in the genesis of cancer is of great significance to the field of oncology. Sense 1 is the most fitting general description.

    *Self-Correction:* Let's look at Sense 2 again. "Crucial" often fits scientific breakthroughs. However, "one of the most important steps" is a very standard way of saying "of great significance." Sense 1 is the primary sense for "important" in this context.

    Wait, let's look at Sense 5 again: "important in effect or meaning" (significant). "A significant step" and "an important step" are often interchangeable. But "of great significance or value" (Sense 1) is the most direct definition of "important" here.

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 2: "vital to the resolution of a crisis." The "genesis of cancer" isn't a crisis to be resolved, but the *treatment* of cancer is. The *step* itself is a piece of the puzzle.

    Sense 1 is the most general and accurate.
