These results represent the primary annotations (negative weight values) and
top five neighborhood weight predictions with weights above 0.025 (positive
weight values) for each protein for which predictions could be made.
The neighborhood weight method of annotation makes predictions based on
functional categories found in proteins predicted (or demonstated in 
".exp.*" files) to interact with the protein in question. These predictions 
are assigned a weight based on the functional quality score of the category 
(from automated assignment methods, manual primary annotations are given a 
quality score of 1.0) and the quality score of the predicted interaction. 
Interactions predicted based on similarity to protein pairs from the DIP or 
GRID are adjusted by a factor of 0.1 relative to those derived from protein 
pairs from the PDB. Proteins can be located based on their BioID by visiting 
the Bioverse (http://bioverse.compbio.washington.edu).

See also eREADME.* for details about the different file types.

Accuracy of the predictions can be roughly estimated based on the
following table, though individual organisms vary (estimates good for
top 5 predictions only).

Neighborhood Weight             Estimated Accuracy
----------------------------------------------------------------------
0.5                             40%
1                               48%
1.5                             51%
2                               52%
2.5                             60%
3                               65%
4                               70%
5                               75%

Accuracy can also be estimated by the ranked position of the prediction
as follows:

Rank                            Estimated Accuracy
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1                               58%
2                               54%
3                               49%
4                               44%
5                               40%
