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).

  GWA studies have confirmed only a few obesity-associated loci (INSIG2, FTO, MC4R) so far, each with modest individual effects on BMI

• Mutation screen and association studies in the diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase homolog 2 gene (DGAT2), a positional candidate gene for early onset obesity on chromosome 11q13.

  PMID 17477860 · PMC1871603 · BMC genetics · 2007 · 7 claims · 5 setups

  Full-text index only

  DGAT2 is a plausible positional and functional candidate gene for obesity due to its localization at chr.11q13 (a linkage region) and its key role in triglyceride synthesis

  Obesity susceptibility is largely genetically determined but requires environmental exposure (excess energy intake, low fiber, physical inactivity) to manifest phenotypically.

• Genome-wide prediction of functional gene-gene interactions inferred from patterns of genetic differentiation in mice and men.

  Pairs of unlinked SNPs showing excess genetic differentiation (LD in mouse RILs, Fst in human populations) beyond what simulations/coalescent models predict by chance represent candidate functionally interacting (epistatic) gene pairs.
