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).

• Getting positive about selection.

  PMID 12914654 · PMC193638 · Genome biology · 2003 · 8 claims · 4 setups

  Full-text index only

  Purifying selection is the predominant form of molecular evolution, preserving fitness by eliminating deleterious mutations, while positive selection is rare but critical for adaptation.

• Accelerated evolution of the ASPM gene controlling brain size begins prior to human brain expansion.

  PMID 15045028 · PMC374243 · PLoS biology · 2004 · 8 claims · 6 setups

  Full-text index only

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