Target lemma: cell
Target surface form: cells
Context:
Today, we know that the accumulation of several of these altered genes can initiate a cancer and, then, propel it into a deadly state. "Scientists call the new class of genes tumor-suppressors, or simply anti-cancer genes. When functioning normally, they make proteins that hold a cell's growth in check. But if the genes are damaged -- perhaps by radiation, a chemical or through a chance accident in cell division -- their growth-suppressing proteins no longer work, and cells normally under control turn malignant. The newly identified genes differ from a family of genes discovered in the early 1980s called oncogenes. Oncogenes must be present for a cell to become malignant, but researchers have found them in normal as well as in cancerous <t>cells</t>, suggesting that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves. In recent months, researchers have come to believe the two types of cancer genes work in concert: An oncogene may turn proliferating cells malignant only after the tumor-suppressor gene has been damaged.

raw_output:
The sentence discusses how tumor-suppressor genes, when damaged, allow cells to become malignant, and contrasts this with oncogenes, which do not cause cancer by themselves. The phrase "suggesting that oncogenes don't **cause** cancer by themselves" clearly uses "cause" in the sense of "give rise to" or "lead to" an outcome. This aligns with the definition "give rise to; cause to happen or occur, not always intentionally," which corresponds to **sense_key=cause%2:36:00::**. The other sense, "cause to do; cause to act in a specified manner," does not fit the context as well.

raw_output:
The context refers to a temporal period following the phrase "In recent," indicating a short span of time. The examples provided in the candidate senses are not directly relevant, but the context clearly uses "months" to describe a recent time frame, aligning with the definition of a period of approximately 30 days or a segment of time. Therefore, the best sense is the one describing "a time unit of approximately 30 days."

The appropriate sense is the second candidate:

- sense_key=month%1:28:00:: | definition=a time unit of approximately 30 days | examples=he was given a month to pay the bill

Thus, the best indexed sense corresponds to sense index 2.

raw_output:
To determine the best sense for "come" in the given context, we analyze the sentence:

*"In recent months, researchers have **come** to believe the two types of cancer genes work in concert..."*

**Contextual Analysis:**
- The phrase "come to believe" suggests a shift in opinion or understanding that has occurred over time.
- The sense involves reaching a new state of belief or understanding, not physical movement, arrival, or result of an action.

**Sense Evaluation:**
1. **Sense 1 (move toward, travel toward):** Involves physical movement, which does not fit the abstract notion of changing belief.
2. **Sense 2 (reach a destination; arrive):** Implies arriving at a place, which is irrelevant here.
3. **Sense 3 (come to pass; reach a destination, relation, condition, use, or position):** Directly matches the idea of reaching a new state of belief or understanding.
4. **Sense 4 (reach or enter a state, relation, condition, use, or position):** Also fits, but is broader and less specific than Sense 3 for the phrase "come to believe."
5. **Sense 5 (to be the product or result):** Implies causation, which is not the focus here.
6. **Sense 6 (be found or available):** Irrelevant to the context of belief.
7. **Sense 7 (come forth):** Suggests emergence, but not as precise as reaching a state of belief.
8. **Sense 8 (be a native of):** Unrelated.
9. **Sense 9 (extend or reach):** Physical extension, not applicable.
10. **Sense 10 (exist or occur in a certain point in a series):** Not relevant.
11. **Sense 11 (cover a certain distance):** Physical movement, not applicable.
12. **Sense 12 (come under, be classified or included):** Not about belief.
13. **Sense 13 (happen as a result):** Implies causation, not the shift in belief.
14. **Sense 14 (add up in number or quantity):** Irrelevant.
15. **Sense 15 (develop into):** Suggests transformation, but less precise than reaching a state of belief.
16. **Sense 16 (come from; be connected by a relationship of blood):** Unrelated.
17. **Sense 17 (come to one's mind; suggest itself):** Close, but "occur to me" is more about ideas popping up, whereas "come to believe" indicates a consensus or realization.
18. **Sense 18 (experience orgasm):** Irrelevant.
19. **Sense 19 (have a certain priority):** Unrelated.
20. **Sense 20 (experience orgasm):** Irrelevant.

**Conclusion:**
The phrase "come to believe" most precisely matches **Sense 3**, which is defined as "reach or enter a state, relation, condition, use, or position." This sense captures the idea of researchers arriving at a new understanding or belief about the interaction between oncogenes and tumor-suppressor genes.

**Final Answer:**
```json

raw_output:
The sentence "An oncogene may <t>turn</t> proliferating cells malignant only after the tumor-suppressor gene has been damaged." uses "turn" to describe the process by which cells change from being controlled to becoming malignant due to the loss of tumor-suppressor function. This aligns with the sense of causing a transformation or change of state, specifically from a normal, controlled state to a malignant state.

The most appropriate sense is:

**sense_key=turn%2:30:04::**
**definition=undergo a transformation or a change of position or action**
**synonyms=change state**
**examples=We turned from Socialism to Capitalism; The people turned against the President when he stole the election**

Thus, the best indexed sense is sense index 3.

Target lemma: cell
Target surface form: cells
Context:
Scientists call the new class of genes tumor-suppressors, or simply anti-cancer genes. When functioning normally, they make proteins that hold a cell's growth in check. But if the genes are damaged -- perhaps by radiation, a chemical or through a chance accident in cell division -- their growth-suppressing proteins no longer work, and cells normally under control turn malignant. The newly identified genes differ from a family of genes discovered in the early 1980s called oncogenes. Oncogenes must be present for a cell to become malignant, but researchers have found them in normal as well as in cancerous cells, suggesting that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves. In recent months, researchers have come to believe the two types of cancer genes work in concert: An oncogene may turn proliferating <t>cells</t> malignant only after the tumor-suppressor gene has been damaged. Like all genes, tumor-suppressor genes are inherited in two copies, one from each parent.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=cell%1:06:03:: | definition=any small compartment | examples=the cells of a honeycomb
2. sense_key=cell%1:03:00:: | definition=(biology) the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms; they may exist as independent units of life (as in monads) or may form colonies or tissues as in higher plants and animals

The context describes genes being "damaged" due to external factors like radiation or accidents, which prevents their normal function. This aligns with the definition of "damage" as **inflict damage upon** (sense 1), where something (the genes) is harmed or altered by an external cause. The second sense, "suffer or be susceptible to damage," does not fit as well because the passage emphasizes the genes being affected by external events rather than being inherently prone to damage.

raw_output:
To determine the best sense for the word "needed" in the given context, we analyze the surrounding text and the candidate senses provided.

**Context Analysis:**
- The sentence states: "Either copy can make the proteins **needed** to control cell growth..."
- This implies that the proteins are required or necessary for controlling cell growth.
- The phrase "needed to control cell growth" suggests a requirement or necessity for these proteins to function properly in preventing cancer.

**Candidate Senses Evaluation:**
1. **Sense 1:** "require as useful, just, or proper" (synonyms: necessitate, ask, postulate, require, take, involve)
   - This sense aligns with the idea that the proteins are required for a specific purpose (controlling cell growth).
   - The example "success usually requires hard work" parallels the context where something (proteins) is required for a desired outcome (controlling cell growth).

2. **Sense 2:** "have need of" (synonyms: want, require)
   - This sense also fits, as it indicates that the proteins are needed or required.
   - The example "This piano wants the attention of a competent tuner" suggests a need, but it is less directly related to the necessity for a biological function.

3. **Sense 3:** "have or feel a need for" (examples: always needing friends and money)
   - This sense focuses on personal or emotional needs, which does not fit the biological context of proteins controlling cell growth.

**Conclusion:**
The context emphasizes a functional requirement for the proteins to control cell growth, making Sense 1 the most appropriate choice. It directly addresses the necessity of the proteins for a specific biological function, which is precisely what the sentence conveys.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is **Sense 1**.

**JSON Response:**
```json
{"sense_index": 1}

Target lemma: cell
Target surface form: cell
Context:
But if the genes are damaged -- perhaps by radiation, a chemical or through a chance accident in cell division -- their growth-suppressing proteins no longer work, and cells normally under control turn malignant. The newly identified genes differ from a family of genes discovered in the early 1980s called oncogenes. Oncogenes must be present for a cell to become malignant, but researchers have found them in normal as well as in cancerous cells, suggesting that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves. In recent months, researchers have come to believe the two types of cancer genes work in concert: An oncogene may turn proliferating cells malignant only after the tumor-suppressor gene has been damaged. Like all genes, tumor-suppressor genes are inherited in two copies, one from each parent. Either copy can make the proteins needed to control <t>cell</t> growth, so for cancer to arise, both copies must be impaired. A person who is born with one defective copy of a suppressor gene, or in whom one copy is damaged early in life, is especially prone to cancer because he need only lose the other copy for a cancer to develop.

Instructions:
1. Choose the single best indexed sense for the target word in context.
2. WordNet glosses are schematic; use the context, synonyms, and examples together.
3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

content:
The context discusses "tumor-suppressor genes" and mentions that "Like all genes, tumor-suppressor genes are inherited in two copies, one from each parent." Here, "copy" refers to one of the two inherited versions of a gene, i.e., a duplicate or replica of the gene inherited from each parent. This aligns with the definition of a "thing made to be similar or identical to another thing," which is the sense of "copy" as a genetic duplicate.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

```json
{"sense_index": 2}
```

Target lemma: damage
Target surface form: damaged
Context:
The newly identified genes differ from a family of genes discovered in the early 1980s called oncogenes. Oncogenes must be present for a cell to become malignant, but researchers have found them in normal as well as in cancerous cells, suggesting that oncogenes don't cause cancer by themselves. In recent months, researchers have come to believe the two types of cancer genes work in concert: An oncogene may turn proliferating cells malignant only after the tumor-suppressor gene has been damaged. Like all genes, tumor-suppressor genes are inherited in two copies, one from each parent. Either copy can make the proteins needed to control cell growth, so for cancer to arise, both copies must be impaired. A person who is born with one defective copy of a suppressor gene, or in whom one copy is <t>damaged</t> early in life, is especially prone to cancer because he need only lose the other copy for a cancer to develop. Emerging genetic tests will be able to spot such cancer-susceptible individuals, ushering in what some scientists believe is a new age of predictive cancer diagnosis.

raw_output:
The sentence "or in whom one copy is <t>damaged</t> early in life, is especially prone to cancer because he need only lose the other copy for a cancer to develop." refers to a gene copy being impaired or compromised, which aligns with the definition of "damage" as "suffer or be susceptible to damage." This matches the context of a gene being affected or harmed, rather than causing damage to an external object. Therefore, the best sense is:

```json
{"sense_index": 2}
```
