  1. Where precision is the fraction of manual GO term annotations that are correct (number of correct annotations / (number of correct annotations + number of incorrect annotations). Recall is defined as the fraction of correct GO term annotations that were successfully retrieved during manual annotation (number of correct annotations / number of correct annotations + (number of annotations from new lineage - number of incorrect annotations). New lineage annotations minus incorrect annotations represent total number of the GO terms that the curators should have correctly retrieved from the paper. F-measure = (balanced precision and recall) = 2 × P × R/(P+R).
