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).

Gene losses during human origins.
PMID 16464126 · PMC1361800 · PLoS biology · 2006 · 7 claims · 7 setups
A comparative genomic screen identified 67 new human-specific nonprocessed pseudogenes, bringing the total (with 13 from prior literature) to 80 human-specific pseudogenes.

Gene duplication: the genomic trade in spare parts.
PMID 15252449 · PMC449868 · PLoS biology · 2004 · 8 claims · 7 setups
Gene duplication relaxes selective constraint on one copy, allowing exploration of evolutionary space that is otherwise forbidden in single-copy genes, making duplication the major opportunity for new gene function evolution.

A macaque's-eye view of human insertions and deletions: differences in mechanisms.
PMID 17941704 · PMC1976337 · PLoS computational biology · 2007 · 7 claims · 4 setups
Insertion and deletion rates are differentially associated with replication- versus recombination-related genomic features, indicating the two mutation types are driven in part by distinct mechanisms

Differentiating human from animal isolates of Cryptosporidium parvum.
PMID 9866750 · PMC2640237 · Emerging infectious diseases · 1998 · 7 claims · 5 setups
Two distinct genotypes of C. parvum (human/anthroponotic and bovine/zoonotic) exist, distinguishable by TRAP-C2 gene sequence differences at five nucleotide positions.

Modeling the amplification dynamics of human Alu retrotransposons.
PMID 16201008 · PMC1239904 · PLoS computational biology · 2005 · 8 claims · 4 setups
Combining sequence diversity (π) and insertion polymorphism level (IPL) statistics can statistically exclude implausible Alu amplification scenarios and narrow the range of plausible ones for individual subfamilies.

Continued colonization of the human genome by mitochondrial DNA.
PMID 15361937 · PMC515365 · PLoS biology · 2004 · 7 claims · 6 setups
NUMT insertion into nuclear chromosomes is an ongoing process shaped by double-strand-break repair (as shown in yeast) and continuing in humans.

On the association between chromosomal rearrangements and genic evolution in humans and chimpanzees.
PMID 17971225 · PMC2246304 · Genome biology · 2007 · 8 claims · 4 setups
Genes located in rearranged chromosomes show lower non-coding (KI), synonymous (KS), and non-synonymous (KA) divergence than genes in colinear chromosomes.

An analysis of human microRNA and disease associations.
PMID 18923704 · PMC2559869 · PloS one · 2008 · 8 claims · 8 setups
MicroRNAs tend to show similar dysfunctional evidence (both up- or both down-regulated) for diseases within the same disease cluster, and different dysfunctional evidence between different disease clusters.
