Context:
Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes. Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible. Dr. Knudson found that some children with the eye cancer had inherited a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13 from a parent who had had the disease. Under a microscope he could actually see that a bit of chromosome 13 was missing. He assumed the missing piece contained a gene or genes whose loss had a critical role in setting off the cancer. But he did not <t>know</t> which gene or genes had disappeared. Then, a scientific team led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee, then at the University of Utah, found the answer.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "Then" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "Then, a scientific team led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee, then at the University of Utah, found the answer."

1. The first occurrence of "Then" is at the beginning of the sentence. Here, it is used to indicate a sequence of events or time progression in the narrative. It suggests that after some preceding events or discussions, a scientific team found the answer. This usage aligns with indicating a subsequent event or a continuation in the narrative.

2. Let's examine the candidate senses:
   - Sense 1: "subsequently or soon afterward (often used as sentence connectors)". The synonyms given are "so", "and so", "and then". The example is "then he left; go left first, then right". This sense fits the context of the first "Then" in the sentence as it connects the preceding narrative to the subsequent event of the scientific team finding the answer.
   - Sense 2: "in that case or as a consequence". The example given is "if he didn't take it, then who did?; keep it then if you want to". This sense is more related to conditional or consequential statements, which doesn't directly fit the usage of "Then" at the beginning of the sentence in the given context.
   - Sense 3: "at that time". The examples are "I was young then; prices were lower back then". This sense is used to denote a specific point in the past. The second occurrence of "then" in the sentence ("then at the University of Utah") uses "then" in this sense, indicating the time when Webster Cavenee was at the University of Utah.

For the first occurrence of "Then" in the sentence, the most appropriate sense is Sense 1, as it is used to indicate a subsequent event or continuation in the narrative.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for the target word "Then" is Sense 1.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the word "scientific" in the given context, let's analyze the information provided.

The context is about a team led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee that used newly developed "gene probes" to find a gene or genes related to a specific type of cancer. The team is described as "scientific."

The two candidate senses for "scientific" are:
1. Of or relating to the practice of science.
2. Conforming with the principles or methods used in science.

Let's examine the context and the examples given for each sense:
- The sentence describes a team doing research, using "gene probes," which is a tool or method related to science. This indicates the team is involved in the practice of science.
- The term "scientific team" is used, which directly relates to the practice or field of science.
- The examples given for the first sense include "scientific journals," which directly relates to the practice or output of science.
- The second sense refers to conforming with the principles or methods used in science, which could also apply as the team's work is methodologically scientific.

However, the term "scientific team" more directly implies a group of people involved in the practice of science rather than describing a method or approach as being in conformity with scientific principles.

Given the context and the examples, the most appropriate sense is the first one: "of or relating to the practice of science." This is because "scientific team" directly refers to a team involved in scientific practice or research.

The first sense is indexed as 1.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "team" in the given context, let's analyze the information provided.

The context is about a scientific group led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee that made a significant discovery related to genetics and cancer. The sentence mentions "a scientific team led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee" and describes their work involving "gene probes."

The two candidate senses provided are:
1. A cooperative unit (especially in sports)
2. Two or more draft animals that work together to pull something

Given the context, the word "team" refers to a group of scientists working together, which aligns with the concept of a cooperative unit. Although the first sense specifically mentions "especially in sports," the core idea of a cooperative unit can be applied more broadly. The second sense is related to draft animals, which is not relevant to the context.

The context, synonyms, and examples all support the interpretation of "team" as a cooperative unit. The term "squad" is given as a synonym for this sense, and while "squad" is often used in the context of sports or military units, the underlying concept of a group working together can be applied to other fields, such as science.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "team" in this context is the first one, which corresponds to a cooperative unit.

To determine the correct sense of the target word "then" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The context is: "Dr. Knudson found that some children with the eye cancer had inherited a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13 from a parent who had had the disease. ... But he did not know which gene or genes had disappeared. Then, a scientific team led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee, then at the University of Utah, found the answer."

1. The first instance of "then" is used before mentioning that "a scientific team led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee ... found the answer." This indicates a sequence of events where Dr. Knudson's findings are followed by the findings of the scientific team led by Webster Cavenee. The first "then" here suggests that after Dr. Knudson's observations and assumptions, subsequently, the scientific team found the answer. This usage aligns with sense 1, "subsequently or soon afterward (often used as sentence connectors)," as it connects the events in a sequence.

2. The second instance of "then" is used to describe Webster Cavenee's location at the time, "at the University of Utah." This indicates the time or circumstance under which Webster Cavenee was associated with the University of Utah. This usage aligns with sense 3, "at that time," as it refers to the time when the scientific team found the answer.

Let's evaluate the candidate senses based on the context and examples:

1. The first "then" is used to indicate a subsequent event, fitting sense 1.
2. The second "then" is describing the time or circumstance, fitting sense 3.

For the target surface form "then" that is to be disambiguated (the first occurrence), the context suggests it is indicating a subsequent event, which matches sense 1.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for the first "then" is 1.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "found" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The context is: "Then, a scientific team led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee, then at the University of Utah, found the answer."

Here, "found" is used in the context of a scientific team discovering or determining the existence or fact of something (in this case, "the answer" to a problem or question related to a gene or genes associated with cancer).

Let's examine the relevant candidate senses:

1. **come upon, as if by accident; meet with** - This doesn't perfectly fit because the context implies a result of investigation or research rather than an accidental discovery.
2. **discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of** - This sense fits well as it involves discovering something through investigation or research, aligning with the context of a scientific team finding an answer.
3. **come upon after searching; find the location of something that was missed or lost** - While this involves searching, the primary focus is on locating something lost, which isn't the exact nuance here.
4. **establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study** - This is a strong candidate because it involves determining something through investigation or study, which matches the context of scientific research.
5. **make a discovery, make a new finding** - This sense is also relevant as it directly relates to the act of discovering something new through research or investigation.

Given the context and the definitions, **sense_key=find%2:39:02::** ("discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of") and **sense_key=find%2:32:00::** ("establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study") are both plausible. However, **sense_key=find%2:32:00::** is more specific to the context of scientific investigation and determining facts through such processes.

Thus, the best indexed sense for "found" in the given context is **3. establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study**.

The response should be: {"sense_index": 4}

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "answer" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context is about Dr. Knudson and a scientific team led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee trying to understand the genetic basis of a certain eye cancer. They were looking for a gene or genes related to the cancer, and the team found the "answer" using gene probes.

1. The first sense refers to a statement made in reply to a question, request, criticism, or accusation. While this is a common usage of "answer," the context doesn't directly imply a question or criticism being directly addressed in a conversational manner.

2. The second sense is about a statement that solves a problem or explains how to solve it. The context implies that the scientific team was trying to solve the problem of identifying the gene or genes related to the cancer, and they found the solution.

3. The third sense is the speech act of replying to a question, which is somewhat similar to the first sense but focuses on the act rather than the content of the reply.

4. The fourth sense is related to legal proceedings, which is not relevant to the context provided.

5. The fifth sense refers to a nonverbal reaction, which doesn't directly fit the context since finding the "answer" through gene probes implies a specific, tangible outcome related to their research.

Given the context, the team was trying to solve a problem (identifying the gene or genes related to the cancer), and they found the "answer" through their research. This aligns well with the second sense, which is about a statement or result that solves a problem.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "answer" in this context is the second one.

But he did not know which gene or genes had disappeared. Then, a scientific team led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee, then at the University of Utah, found the answer. The <t>team</t> used a battery of the newly developed "gene probes, "snippets of genetic material that can track a gene's presence in a cell. By analyzing cells extracted from eye tumors, they found defects in the second copy of chromosome 13 in the exact area as in the first copy of the chromosome.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "team" in the given context, let's analyze the information provided.

The context discusses a scientific investigation into the genetic cause of an eye cancer. It mentions "a scientific team led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee" and then refers to this group as "The team" that used "gene probes" to analyze cells from eye tumors.

The two candidate senses provided are:
1. A cooperative unit (especially in sports)
2. Two or more draft animals that work together to pull something

Given the context, the word "team" refers to a group of scientists working together on a research project. This context aligns with the first sense, which describes a cooperative unit. Although the first sense mentions "especially in sports," it does not exclude other cooperative units. The synonym "squad" can be used more broadly than just sports, and the context here is about a group of scientists collaborating.

The second sense is clearly unrelated to the context as it refers to draft animals.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "team" in this context is the first one.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "used" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "The team used a battery of the newly developed 'gene probes,' snippets of genetic material that can track a gene's presence in a cell."

1. The first sense is defined as "put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose or for its inherent or natural purpose." The synonyms are "utilize," "utilise," "apply," and "employ." The example given is "use your head!" or "we only use Spanish at home." This sense fits the context because the team employed or utilized "gene probes" for a particular purpose, which is to track a gene's presence.

2. The second sense involves "tak[ing] or consum[ing] (regularly or habitually)" and is related to habituating. The example is "She uses drugs rarely." This doesn't fit the context as the team is not consuming or habituating to "gene probes."

3. The third sense is "use up, consume fully," with the synonym "expend." The example is "The legislature expended its time on school questions." While this involves using something, it implies using it up or consuming it fully, which isn't the focus in the given context.

4. The fourth sense is about "seek[ing] or achiev[ing] an end by using to one's advantage." The examples given are "She uses her influential friends to get jobs" and "The president's wife used her good connections." This sense implies exploiting something for an advantage, which isn't directly relevant to the context of using gene probes as a tool.

5. The fifth sense is "avail oneself to," with synonyms "practice" and "apply." The examples are "apply a principle" and "practice a religion." This sense is about utilizing or applying something in a more abstract or principled manner. While it involves application, it's broader and not as directly related to using a tool or method as the first sense.

6. The sixth sense is "habitually do something (use only in the past tense)," as in "She used to call her mother every week but now she calls only occasionally." This sense is about a past habitual action, which doesn't fit the context of using gene probes.

Given the context and the definitions, the most appropriate sense is the first one, as it directly relates to employing or utilizing something (in this case, "gene probes") for a particular purpose.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "developed" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "The team used a battery of the newly developed 'gene probes,' snippets of genetic material that can track a gene's presence in a cell."

The word "developed" here refers to the creation or production of something new, in this case, "gene probes." The context suggests that these gene probes are a new tool or technology that has been created or made available for use.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. "make something new, such as a product or a mental or artistic creation" - This sense fits the context as it involves creating something new, like a product or technology.
2. "work out" - This doesn't directly fit as it implies a process of figuring something out or solving a problem, rather than creating a new product or technology.
3. "gain through experience" - This doesn't fit as the context is about creating or making something new, not gaining something through experience.
4. "come to have or undergo a change of (physical features and attributes)" - This doesn't directly apply as it refers more to a change in an existing thing rather than the creation of a new one.
5. "come into existence; take on form or shape" - While this could be related, it's more about something emerging or coming into being, which is not the exact fit for the creation of a new technology or product.
6. "change the use of and make available or usable" - This involves making something usable but doesn't directly imply the creation of something new.
7. "elaborate, as of theories and hypotheses" - This is about explaining or expanding on ideas, not directly related to creating a new product or technology.
8. "create by training and teaching" - This is more about education and training, not directly related to the creation of a new technology or product.
9. "be gradually disclosed or unfolded; become manifest" - This refers to something becoming clear or apparent over time, not the creation of a new product.
10. "grow, progress, unfold, or evolve through a process of evolution, natural growth, differentiation, or a conducive environment" - This is about growth or evolution, not directly the creation of a new product or technology.
11. "become technologically advanced" - This refers to the progress of a country or entity in terms of technology, not the creation of a specific new technology.
12. "cause to grow and differentiate in ways conforming to its natural development" - This is more about nurturing or cultivating something, not directly related to creating a new product or technology.
13. "generate gradually" - This could be related as it involves creating or producing something over time.
14. "grow emotionally or mature" - This is about personal development, not relevant here.
15. "make visible by means of chemical solutions" - This is specific to photography and not relevant to the context.
16. "superimpose a three-dimensional surface on a plane without stretching, in geometry" - This is a very specific geometric concept, not relevant.
17, 18. "move one's pieces into strategically more advantageous positions" or "move into a strategically more advantageous position" - These are related to chess and not relevant.
19. "elaborate by the unfolding of a musical idea and by the working out of the rhythmic and harmonic changes in the theme" - This is about music and not relevant.
20. "happen" - This is too broad and doesn't directly relate to the creation of a new product or technology.
21. "expand in the form of a series" - This is about mathematical or other series expansion, not directly relevant.

Given the context and the definitions, the most appropriate sense is the first one: "make something new, such as a product or a mental or artistic creation." This is because "developed" refers to the creation or production of new "gene probes," a technological or scientific tool.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "genetic" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context is discussing a scientific team using "gene probes" to track a gene's presence in a cell, specifically analyzing cells from eye tumors to find defects in chromosome 13. The term "genetic material" is used in relation to these gene probes.

1. The first sense relates to something being "inheritable" and "occurring among members of a family usually by heredity." While the context does involve heredity (e.g., "inherited a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13"), the term "genetic material" here is more directly related to the genes themselves rather than the concept of heredity.

2. The second sense is "of or relating to or produced by or being a gene." The term "genetic code" is given as an example, and "genic" is provided as a synonym. The context involves "gene probes" and "genetic material," directly relating to genes.

3. The third sense pertains to "origin." The example given is "genetic history reconstructs the origins of a literary work." The context does not relate to the origin of a literary work or a similar concept.

4. The fourth sense is "of or relating to the science of genetics." The example is "genetic research." While the context is within a scientific or research setting, the term "genetic material" is more directly related to the material itself rather than the science studying it.

Given the context, "genetic material" is being used to refer to material related to or produced by genes, as it is associated with "gene probes" that track a gene's presence. Thus, the most appropriate sense is the one that relates to genes.

The best sense is related to being "of or relating to or produced by or being a gene," which corresponds to sense index 2.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "analyzing" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Understanding**: The passage discusses a scientific team using gene probes to study cells extracted from eye tumors. They are trying to understand the genetic basis of cancer by examining the chromosomes.

2. **Target Word Context**: The word "analyzing" is used in the context of examining cells extracted from eye tumors to find defects in a specific chromosome.

3. **Candidate Senses**:
   - Sense 1: analyze%2:31:00:: - Involves considering something in detail to discover essential features or meaning. Examples include analyzing a sonnet or evidence in a trial.
   - Sense 2: analyze%2:31:01:: - Involves making a mathematical, chemical, or grammatical analysis by breaking down into components. Examples include analyzing a specimen or a sentence.
   - Sense 3: analyze%2:31:04:: - Involves breaking down into components or essential features, similar to Sense 2 but without specifying the type of analysis. An example is analyzing today's financial market.
   - Sense 4: analyze%2:31:03:: - Refers to subjecting someone to psychoanalytic treatment. An example is being analyzed by a psychiatrist.

4. **Analysis**:
   - The context is scientific and involves examining cells and chromosomes, which suggests a detailed examination or breakdown.
   - Sense 1 is plausible because it involves detailed consideration, but it's broad and not limited to scientific analysis.
   - Sense 2 is highly relevant because it involves breaking down into components, which is exactly what's happening when analyzing cells and chromosomes using gene probes. The example of "analyze a specimen" closely matches the context.
   - Sense 3 is also relevant as it involves breaking down into components, but it's less specific about the type of analysis compared to Sense 2.
   - Sense 4 is not relevant as it pertains to psychoanalysis, which is unrelated to the context.

5. **Decision**:
   - Given the context of scientific analysis and the use of gene probes to examine chromosomes, **Sense 2** is the most appropriate. It specifically mentions making a mathematical, chemical, or grammatical analysis, and the example "analyze a specimen" fits the context of analyzing cells.

6. **Conclusion**:
   - The best indexed sense for "analyzing" in the given context is **2**.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "found" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The context is: "Under a microscope he could actually see that a bit of chromosome 13 was missing. He assumed the missing piece contained a gene or genes whose loss had a critical role in setting off the cancer. But he did not know which gene or genes had disappeared. Then, a scientific team led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee, then at the University of Utah, found the answer. The team used a battery of the newly developed 'gene probes,' snippets of genetic material that can track a gene's presence in a cell. By analyzing cells extracted from eye tumors, they found defects in the second copy of chromosome 13 in the exact area as in the first copy of the chromosome. The finding riveted medicine."

The target surface form is "found," and it appears twice in the context.

1. The first occurrence is in: "a scientific team led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee, then at the University of Utah, found the answer."
   - Here, "found" implies discovering or determining the existence or fact of something (the answer).

2. The second occurrence is in: "By analyzing cells extracted from eye tumors, they found defects in the second copy of chromosome 13 in the exact area as in the first copy of the chromosome."
   - Again, "found" implies discovering or detecting something (defects in the chromosome).

Let's examine the candidate senses:
- Sense 1 implies coming upon something by accident, which doesn't perfectly fit the context of scientific investigation.
- Sense 2 is about discovering or determining the existence, presence, or fact of something, which aligns with both instances of "found" in the context.
- Sense 3 is about coming upon something after searching, which could apply but is not as directly related to the scientific discovery as Sense 2.
- Sense 4 involves establishing something after a calculation or investigation, which is relevant but slightly more specific than the general act of discovering.
- Other senses either don't fit the context as well as Sense 2 or are less directly related to the act of scientific discovery.

Given the context and the examples provided, the best fit for "found" in both instances is discovering or detecting something through scientific investigation, which matches Sense 2: "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of."

Thus, the best indexed sense for "found" is Sense 2.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "defects" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses a scientific discovery related to genetics and cancer. It mentions analyzing cells extracted from eye tumors and finding "defects" in the second copy of chromosome 13. The context is clearly about genetics and molecular biology.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The word "defects" is used in the context of chromosomes, specifically referring to changes or alterations in the chromosome structure.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. an imperfection in a bodily system**: This sense refers to issues within a biological system, which could be related to the context since chromosomes are part of a bodily system. However, it's somewhat generic.
   - **2. a failing or deficiency**: This is a more abstract sense that could apply to various contexts, including genetics, but it's not directly related to physical or structural imperfections.
   - **3. an imperfection in an object or machine**: This sense can be related to the context if we consider chromosomes or genes as objects or parts of a larger system (the genome). The term "defect" is often used in this manner in genetics to describe mutations or alterations.
   - **4. a mark or flaw that spoils the appearance of something**: This sense is more related to aesthetic or visible flaws, particularly on a person's body, which doesn't directly fit the context of chromosomes and genetic material.

4. **Choosing the Best Sense**:
   - The context is about genetic material and chromosomes, not directly about bodily systems in a broad sense or aesthetic flaws.
   - The term "defects" here refers to specific alterations or mutations in the chromosome, which can be considered as imperfections in the genetic material.
   - Sense 3 ("an imperfection in an object or machine") is the closest in meaning because it can be applied to considering chromosomes as objects or parts of a system that can have imperfections or flaws. This is a common usage in genetics.

5. **Conclusion**: The best indexed sense for "defects" in the given context is **3**.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "copy" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context is discussing genetic material and chromosomes, specifically how a team led by molecular geneticist Webster Cavenee used gene probes to identify defects in chromosome 13 in cells extracted from eye tumors. The sentence mentions "the second copy of chromosome 13" and compares it to "the first copy of the chromosome."

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. A reproduction of a written record (e.g., of a legal or school record) - This doesn't fit the context as the discussion is about genetic material, not written records.
2. A thing made to be similar or identical to another thing - While this could potentially apply in a broad sense (as chromosomes are replicated), the specific usage here is more about the existence of two instances (copies) of a chromosome rather than one being a made copy of the other.
3. Matter to be printed; exclusive of graphical materials - This doesn't apply as the context is about genetic material, not printed matter.
4. Material suitable for a journalistic account - This is irrelevant to the context, which is about genetic research, not journalism.

However, upon closer inspection, sense 2 ("a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing") is the most relevant. The context is discussing the two copies of chromosome 13 that are present in cells (since humans are diploid organisms, having two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent). The term "copy" here refers to one of these two instances of chromosome 13. The fact that one is described as "the first copy" and the other as "the second copy" indicates they are being considered as similar or identical entities (in a normal context, they would be identical or very similar, but in this case, one is defective).

Therefore, the best sense is the one that aligns with the concept of having two similar or identical things, which is sense 2.

To determine the best indexed sense for the word "exact" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "By analyzing cells extracted from eye tumors, they found defects in the second copy of chromosome 13 in the exact area as in the first copy of the chromosome."

The word "exact" here is used to describe the area on the chromosome where defects were found. It implies a precise or accurate location that matches between the two copies of the chromosome.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense defines "exact" as "marked by strict and particular and complete accordance with fact." An example given is "an exact mind; an exact copy." This sense emphasizes precision and faithfulness to an original or standard.

2. The second sense defines "exact" (more accurately related to the verb form) as "(of ideas, images, representations, expressions) characterized by perfect conformity to fact or truth ; strictly correct." It is associated with synonyms like "accurate" and "precise," and examples include "a precise image; a precise measurement."

Given the context, "exact" is used as an adjective to describe the noun "area," indicating that the area on the second copy of chromosome 13 where defects were found is precisely the same as the area on the first copy. The emphasis is on the precision or accuracy of the location.

Both senses convey a sense of precision, but the first sense is more directly related to the adjective "exact" as used in the context. The use of "exact" to describe a location or area aligns with the idea of something being precise or strictly accurate, which is in line with the first sense's emphasis on accordance with fact and the notion of being precise.

Therefore, the best sense for "exact" in this context is the first one.
