Abstract

Recent discussions highlight a reproducibility crisis in life sciences, raising questions about scientific claims' accuracy. We initiated a project to assess the reproducibility of 400 articles in Drosophila immunity over three decades. The goal is to create a public database for experimental biologists to gauge the trustworthiness of discoveries in this field. SNSF funding supports article annotation and claim verification. As part of an ETH Domain ORD Program, we aim to develop a web interface to present major, main, and minor claims, allowing community comments. This resource offers easy access to supporting and contradictory data in Drosophila immunity topics. This proposal supports the web interface's creation and open access, making it applicable in other fields. Our project's uniqueness could transform science by providing a new tool for community reproducibility assessment and discussion.
