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).

Genome structure in the vole bacillus, Mycobacterium microti, a member of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex with a low virulence for humans.
PMID 15133113 · PMC2964484 · Microbiology (Reading, England) · 2004 · 8 claims · 3 setups
Compared to M. tuberculosis H37Rv, 13 distinct deleted regions were identified across 12 M. microti strains, including RD1–RD10 also missing in M. bovis BCG.

PMID 10998382 · PMC2627966 · Emerging infectious diseases · 2000 · 8 claims · 7 setups
GC content varies widely among prokaryotic genomes (29% in B. burgdorferi to 68% in M. tuberculosis) and shapes codon usage and amino acid composition.

The post-genomic era for a select few.
PMID 14759254 · PMC395745 · Genome biology · 2004 · 8 claims · 8 setups
The Exofish comparative-genomics tool identifies protein-coding DNA segments by comparing two genome sequences and was used to compare pufferfish (Takifugu, Tetraodon) genomes with mammalian genomes, improving annotation of the human and mouse genomes.

Exploring the immunome: A brave new world for human vaccine development.
PMID 20009527 · PMC2919815 · Human vaccines · 2009 · 7 claims · 7 setups
Screening the Mtb proteome in silico for epitopes ('fishing for antigens using epitopes as bait') revealed a remarkable diversity of human immune responses to Mtb proteins without an ascribed function, suggesting human immune response to Mtb is omnivorous rather than focused on single immunodominant proteins.

Rifampicin resistance (rpoB) and pyrazinamide resistance (pncA) mutations occur at different nucleotide positions in the MDR and XDR strains, showing they were acquired independently and that the XDR strain did not evolve directly from this MDR strain.
