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).

• Effect of the assignment of ancestral CpG state on the estimation of nucleotide substitution rates in mammals.

  CpG/non-CpG assignment based on presence/absence of a CpG dinucleotide seriously biases substitution rate estimates, overestimating CpG changes and underestimating non-CpG changes.

• Strand bias in complementary single-nucleotide polymorphisms of transcribed human sequences: evidence for functional effects of synonymous polymorphisms.

  Genome-wide, both intronic SNPs (iSNPs) and FFD SNPs show a significant excess of A→G over complementary T→C substitutions, confirming prior transcription-coupled repair (TCR) findings from a single chromosome 7 region.

  Three HERV-E LTRs that function as alternative gene promoters (LTR-PTN, LTR-EBR, LTR-MID1) are unmethylated in placenta but heavily methylated in blood cells, where they are not active promoters

  The ASPM gene shows accelerated (positively selected) evolution in the African hominoid clade, and this acceleration precedes hominid brain expansion by several million years.
