Claims other papers make about this one
Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
The check wasn’t confident either way, so it gives no verdict — never disputed.
In the citing paper
“At the molecular level, instability can arise through point mutations or indels in promoters, ribosome-binding sites, coding sequences or regulatory genes; deletion of pathway fragments through homologous recombination between repeated sequences; plasmid loss or copy-number reduction; transposon insertion; incomplete segregation of engineered alleles in polyploid genomes; or mutations that reduce”

In the citing paper
“These “escape” genotypes may retain normal growth but lose product formation, causing titres to decline over time even when the original engineered strain showed strong short-term production [200].”

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.
