  1. Percent recall rates of the ‘VExtractor’ and ‘SemanticVExtractor’ algorithms as compared to the gold standard (manually reviewed venoms), using 100 randomly selected records from the ‘Manually Reviewed Venoms’ table. Reported precision was computed after manually pruning obvious false positives.
