List of annotation servers used by the meta-server, plus a Boolean flag determining whether the classifiers use a confidence score (Conf) and the system state (State): dynamic = online system, already capable of delivering content for any PubMed abstract; static = offline system, server in development. The webpage columns provide a link to an online site for a team's annotation system. ^aiHOP (Hoffmann) delivers GMs, but because of data compatibility issues this is a feature to be added in later versions of the meta-server. GM, gene/protein mention detections; GN, gene/protein normalizations; PPI, protein-protein interaction classification; TX, taxon classifications.
