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 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

• Differences in the evolutionary history of disease genes affected by dominant or recessive mutations.

  PMID 16817963 · PMC1534034 · BMC genomics · 2006 · 8 claims · 8 setups

  Full-text index only

  Dominant disease genes are more conserved at the protein level (mouse orthologues) than recessive disease genes.

• 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.

• Effect of the assignment of ancestral CpG state on the estimation of nucleotide substitution rates in mammals.

  PMID 18826599 · PMC2576242 · BMC evolutionary biology · 2008 · 7 claims · 4 setups

  Full-text index only

  CpG/non-CpG assignment based on presence/absence of a CpG dinucleotide seriously biases substitution rate estimates, overestimating CpG changes and underestimating non-CpG changes.
