How to add a new study

All data lives in data.json at the root of the repository. Each entry is one experimental condition (one row from a paper). Add a new JSON object to the array following the schema below, then open a pull request.

Make sure fold_change is normalized to control (stimulated ÷ control). Include the DOI so records can be deduplicated and verified.
