Introduction
The aim of the DrugProt track (similar to the previous CHEMPROT task of BioCreative VI) is to promote the development and evaluation of systems that are able to automatically detect in relations between chemical compounds/drug and genes/proteins. We have therefore generated a manually annotated corpus, the DrugProt corpus, where domain experts have exhaustively labeled:(a) all chemical and gene mentions, and (b) all binary relationships between them corresponding to a specific set of biologically relevant relation types (DrugProt relation classes). There is also an increasing interested in the integration of chemical and biomedical data understood as curation of relationships between biological and chemical entities from text and storing such information in form of structured annotation databases. Such databases are of key relevance not only for biological but also for pharmacological and clinical research. A range of different types chemical-protein/gene interactions are of key relevance for biology, including metabolic relations (e.g. substrates, products) inhibition, binding or induction associations.
The DrugProt track aims to address these needs and to promote the development of systems able to extract chemical-protein interactions that might be of relevance for precision medicine as well as for drug discovery and basic biomedical research.
The DrugProt track in BioCreative VII (BC VII) will explore recognition of chemical-protein entity relations from abstracts.
Teams participating in this track are provided with:

PubMed abstracts
Manually annotated chemical compound mentions
Manually annotated gene/protein mentions
Manually annotated chemical compound-protein relations

Data format description
The input text files for the DrugProt track are plain-text, UTF8-encoded PubMed records in a tab-separated format with the following three columns:

Article identifier (PMID, PubMed identifier)
Title of the article
Abstract of the article
 
DrugProt entity mention annotation files contain manually labeled mention annotations of chemical compounds and genes/proteins. Such files consist of tab-separated fields containing the following six columns:

Article identifier (PMID)
Term number (for this record)
Type of entity mention (CHEMICAL, GENE-Y, GENE-N)
Start character offset of the entity mention
End character offset of the entity mention
Text string of the entity mention
Each line contains one entity, and each entity is uniquely identified by its PMID and the Term Number. Besides, each annotation contains an annotation type, the start-offset -the index of the first character of the annotated span in the text-, the end-offset -the index of the first character after the annotated span- and the text spanned by the annotation.
Example DrugProt training entity mention annotations:
11808879 T1 GENE-Y 1860 1866 KIR6.2 11808879 T2 GENE-N 1993 2016 glutamate dehydrogenase 11808879 T3 GENE-Y 2242 2253 glucokinase 23017395 T1 CHEMICAL 216 223 HMG-CoA 23017395 T2 CHEMICAL 258 261 EPA
 
Example DrugProt development entity mention annotations (no distinction between GENE-Y and GENE-N):
11808879 T1 GENE 1860 1866 KIR6.2 11808879 T2 GENE 1993 2016 glutamate dehydrogenase 11808879 T3 GENE 2242 2253 glucokinase 23017395 T1 CHEMICAL 216 223 HMG-CoA 23017395 T2 CHEMICAL 258 261 EPA
DrugProt relation annotations are distributed as a file that contains the detailed chemical-protein relation annotations prepared for the DrugProt track. There are no relation annotations for the test+background set (the goal of the task is to predict them). It consists of tab-separated columns containing:

Article identifier (PMID)
DrugProt relation
Interactor argument 1 (of type CHEMICAL)
Interactor argument 2 (of type GENE)
Each line contains one relation, and each relation is identified by the PMID, the relation type and the two related entities. In the below example, to find the entities involved in the first relation, you must find the entities with Term Identifier T1 and T52 within the PMID 12488248.
Example DrugProt relation annotations:
12488248 INHIBITOR Arg1:T1 Arg2:T52 12488248 INHIBITOR Arg1:T2 Arg2:T52 23220562 ACTIVATOR Arg1:T12 Arg2:T42 23220562 ACTIVATOR Arg1:T12 Arg2:T43 23220562 INDIRECT-DOWNREGULATOR Arg1:T1 Arg2:T14
