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.

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.

Modeling the amplification dynamics of human Alu retrotransposons.
PMID 16201008 · PMC1239904 · PLoS computational biology · 2005 · 8 claims · 4 setups
Combining sequence diversity (π) and insertion polymorphism level (IPL) statistics can statistically exclude implausible Alu amplification scenarios and narrow the range of plausible ones for individual subfamilies.
