The Research Desk
A command center for serious research.
Pose the question. Researca reads the literature in full, ranks it by relevance, and hands back a cited synthesis — not a hallucination. One desk for the whole review.

The method
Nine moves from question to cited answer.
01
Pose the question
Plain language. No boolean operator gymnastics, no keyword guessing.
02
Gather the corpus
Pulls candidate papers from the open literature, not a stale snapshot.
03
Read in full
Whole papers, not abstracts — the method and the caveats, where they hide.
04
Rank by relevance
Scored on what your question needs, not on how often a paper was cited.
05
Extract findings
Pulls the load-bearing claims, each tied back to its exact source.
06
Cross-examine
Surfaces where papers disagree and where the evidence simply runs out.
07
Synthesize
One coherent answer across the set — the analysis a reviewer would write.
08
Cite verbatim
Every claim links to the real paper. Quotes are quoted, never paraphrased.
09
Export
Lift the lot to BibTeX or CSV and carry it straight into your manuscript.
Behind the desk
The modules doing the work.
Relevance engine
Reads and scores every candidate against the intent of your question — depth over citation count.
Synthesis desk
Weaves the top papers into a single answer, contradictions and gaps called out by name.
Citation ledger
A running tally of every source and the exact line it supports. Audit any claim in one click.
Comparison matrix
Lays competing papers side by side across the dimensions you actually care about.

GUIDE-seq for unbiased off-target detection
Tsai et al. · Nat. Biotechnol. · 2015
High-fidelity Cas9 variants [2] and anti-CRISPR proteins [4] cut off-target cleavage by up to 40%, while GUIDE-seq [3] verifies the remaining edits genome-wide [1].
