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).

• Adaptation, aging, and genomic information.

  PMID 20157529 · PMC2806027 · Aging · 2009 · 8 claims · 6 setups

  Full-text index only

  Aging is caused primarily by the absence of adaptive genomic information for later-age survival and function, due to declining forces of natural selection with adult age; this absence secondarily produces misallocation and damage at every level of biological organization.
