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).

The role of positive selection in determining the molecular cause of species differences in disease.
PMID 18837980 · PMC2576240 · BMC evolutionary biology · 2008 · 8 claims · 6 setups
Genes predicted to be under positive selection during human evolution are implicated in diseases (epithelial cancers, schizophrenia, autoimmune diseases, Alzheimer's disease) that differ in prevalence and symptomatology between humans and other mammals

The jewels of our genome: the search for the genomic changes underlying the evolutionarily unique capacities of the human brain.
PMID 16733552 · PMC1464830 · PLoS genetics · 2006 · 8 claims · 7 setups
Human and chimp genomes differ by ~35 million single nucleotide substitutions, corresponding to ~1.06% divergence after removing polymorphic sites

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.

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.

Positive selection for the male functionality of a co-retroposed gene in the hominoids.
PMID 19832993 · PMC2773790 · BMC evolutionary biology · 2009 · 8 claims · 8 setups
