Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • WGS can directly uncover desired and unwanted editing events by comparing genome sequences before and after CRISPR/Cas9 editing.

    “By comparing the genome sequences before and after CRISPR/Cas9 editing, WGS can directly uncover desired and unwanted editing events.”

    From Off-target effects in CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing (2023) · cites this paper as Smith et al., 2014

  • Incorporation of MP/bridged nucleic acids/locked nucleic acids increases on-target efficiency and decreases off-target effects.

    “Incorporation of MP/bridged nucleic acids/locked nucleic acids | Increased on-target efficiency and decreased off-target effects”

    From Off-target effects in CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing (2023) · cites this paper as [78]

    The paper’s main text reports efficient, highly specific CRISPR/Cas9 and TALEN editing in human iPSCs, but does not attribute those outcomes to incorporation of modified nucleic acids. Searches for MP, bridged or locked nucleic acids, and chemically modified guide RNA found no passage addressing their effects on on-target efficiency or off-target activity; page numbers were unavailable in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.76)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Chemical modification of gRNA by replacing RNA nucleotides with DNA nucleotides increases on-target efficiency and decreases off-target effects.

    “| gRNA improvement | Chemical modifications [76–78] | Replacement of RNA nucleotides into DNA nucleotides | Increased on-target efficiency and decreased off-target effects |”

    From Off-target effects in CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing (2023) · cites this paper as [78]

    The paper’s discussion of whole-genome sequencing in edited human iPSCs reports efficient, highly specific Cas9 and TALEN editing, but does not address chemically modified gRNAs. Searches for replacing RNA nucleotides with DNA nucleotides and for effects of gRNA modification on on-target efficiency or off-target activity found no relevant passage in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.76)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
