Evidence
Source checking verifies the cited claim or transcription. It does not establish independent reproduction.
Evidence table
Inspect claims, sources and review details
Trace each statement to its source and review. A context-only reference supports the record generally; it does not verify an individual field. Source checking does not reproduce an experiment.
One row per statement and cited source. Multiple citations are not independent evaluations. Shared locators are labelled explicitly.

- Preprint. The peer-reviewed version is Benegas et al., Nature Biotechnology 43, 1960-1965 (2025), doi:10.1038/s41587-024-02511-w, which is not open access; its Extended Data Table 1 (Ablation study) is published only as an image and was not read, so the printed values here may differ from the journal version.; The issue named bioRxiv 2023.10.10.562811; that DOI does not resolve. bioRxiv and Crossref give 10.1101/2023.10.10.561776 for this preprint, and the bioRxiv API lists the journal DOI 10.1038/s41587-024-02511-w as its published version.; The main comparisons with CADD, phyloP, ESM-1b, Nucleotide Transformer and HyenaDNA on ClinVar, COSMIC, OMIM and gnomAD (Figure 2c-f, Supplementary Figures 3-5) are printed only as figures and were not extracted.; Supplementary Table 4 caption says ClinVar, COSMIC, OMIM and gnomAD use 'same setting as Figure 2a', '2b', '2c' and '2d', but in v2 those settings are Figure 2c, 2d, 2e and 2f (Figure 2 caption and Results). The settings were taken from the Methods 'Main VEP metrics' and the caption's own description.; Licence CC BY-NC-ND 4.0; no archived copy is kept in the batch folder.

- method: source-hash-verification; method note: The extractor's downloaded copy hashes to the pinned value. A fresh download on 2026-10-14 differs in 51 bytes, all in bioRxiv's per-download stamps; both give the same text layer.; reviewer: claude; reviewer note: Claude (Opus 5.5) research agent, independent of the extractor; no human review claimed; date: 2026-10-14; artifact sha256: 10411077df1ae59614f9a9a9f85384103d54127ba67a9b3c469a4a2d6c33cee4; retrieval url: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.10.10.561776v2.full.pdf; note: Independent review 2026-10-14. hash_scope added, following the BioML-bench and SpliceAI-2 precedent.

- SHA-256 of the PDF bytes as downloaded 2026-10-14T12:02:16Z. bioRxiv rewrites the XMP dates and document IDs, the Info ModDate and the trailer /ID on download, so a re-download does not reproduce the hash; the review found a fresh copy of the same length differing only in those 51 bytes, with an identical pdftotext -layout text layer.
