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

  • Single-molecule footprinting methods that use methyltransferases to mark accessible sites can provide quantitative measurements of binding states across individual molecules.

    “single-molecule footprinting methods that use methyltransferases to mark accessible sites11–15 can provide quantitative measurements of these binding states across individual molecules”

    From Single-molecule states link transcription factor binding to gene expression (2024) · cites this paper as [12]

    The “Branches in the pathway for transcriptional initiation” section mentions footprinting experiments showing that most DNA templates were bound within complexes. It does not describe methyltransferase-based single-molecule footprinting or quantitative measurement of binding states across individual molecules. Searches for those methods and measurements found no supporting passage in our copy; page numbers were unavailable. (LLM, conf=0.76)

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.
