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
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

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

Variation resources at UC Santa Cruz.
PMID 17151077 · PMC1781230 · Nucleic acids research · 2007 · 8 claims · 8 setups
The UCSC Genome Browser variation resources integrate polymorphism data from public collections (dbSNP, HapMap, Affymetrix, Perlegen, SeattleSNPs) into a common format with additional annotations and genomic context.

A genome-wide screen for noncoding elements important in primate evolution.
PMID 18215302 · PMC2242780 · BMC evolutionary biology · 2008 · 8 claims · 4 setups
A new likelihood ratio test (LRT) method, using nearby ancestral repeats to control for local mutation rate, can identify noncoding elements with lineage-specific accelerated substitution rates.
