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 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.

Segmental copy number amplifications are more stable than aneuploidies in the absence of selection.
PMID 41968576 · PMC13107562 · Molecular biology and evolution · 2026 · 8 claims · 6 setups
Segmental amplifications are stable in the absence of selection, whereas aneuploidies are rapidly lost and revert to single-copy genotype

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