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).

Copy number variants and common disorders: filling the gaps and exploring complexity in genome-wide association studies.
PMID 17953491 · PMC2039766 · PLoS genetics · 2007 · 8 claims · 5 setups
CNVs are not easily tagged by SNPs and often fall in genomic regions poorly covered by whole-genome SNP arrays or not genotyped by HapMap, so current GWASs have largely missed their contribution to complex disorders.
