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).

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

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

• The evolution and genomic landscape of CGB1 and CGB2 genes.

  PMID 17055150 · PMC2599907 · Molecular and cellular endocrinology · 2007 · 8 claims · 5 setups

  Full-text index only

  CGB1 and CGB2 arose via insertion of a DNA fragment (736/724 bp) replacing part of the ancestral hCGβ promoter and 5'-UTR, creating a novel exon 1 and causing a frameshift that produces a completely different 132-aa protein unrelated to hCGβ
