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).

Bayesian coestimation of phylogeny and sequence alignment.
PMID 15804354 · PMC1087833 · BMC bioinformatics · 2005 · 7 claims · 3 setups
