Experiments

Searchable full-text extractions: founding hypothesis, core claims, experimental setups, key results and statistics — pulled out of each paper as structure. Search a cell line, an assay or an entity (e.g. HUH7) and find every paper that worked with it. This corpus stands on its own: most entries carry no reproduction assessment (yet).

  aPRIMES is a novel array-based method that detects direct (absolute) methylation status of CGIs via competitive hybridization of McrBC-digested (methylated) versus HpaII/BstUI-digested (unmethylated) DNA from the same genome, avoiding reference-tissue and copy-number biases
