    gain of function → more of the trait

The program reads each claim's manipulation and the direction of the trait, and from them the gene's role (gain and more, or loss and less, means it promotes the trait). Roles are read by program from each claim's wording. Pairs of papers on the same host, gene and trait were checked claim by claim by two model readers; a pair is marked checked only when both accept it. Gene layer v0.8, 21 trait classes.
