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).

Detecting natural selection by empirical comparison to random regions of the genome.
PMID 19783549 · PMC2778377 · Human molecular genetics · 2009 · 8 claims · 5 setups
Comparing candidate loci to empirically matched random genomic regions (ENCODE data) avoids the strong demographic/mutation assumptions required by theoretical neutral models and provides a robust test for selection

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.
