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).

  Adding model states for specific biological features (signal peptides, CpG islands, etc.) to non-comparative GHMM gene finders did little or nothing to enhance predictive accuracy, sometimes reducing it.

• Comparative genomics search for losses of long-established genes on the human lineage.

  Full-text index only

  A novel comparative genomics method (TransMap-based syntenic mapping of gene structures between human, mouse, and dog) can detect losses of well-established single-copy genes without relying on sequence homology to a parental gene, distinguishing them from typical duplication- or retrotransposition-derived pseudogenes.

  The synonymous substitution rate (dS) of HIV env is strongly correlated with disease progression parameters (progression time, CD4+ decline rate, viral load increase rate), unlike the nonsynonymous rate (dN).
