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).

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

  PMID 18085818 · PMC2134963 · PLoS computational biology · 2007 · 8 claims · 6 setups

  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.
