Alzheimer disease is affecting a significant portion of the aging population worldwide. Despite extensive research over the years, a comprehensive understanding of its underlying mechanisms and effective treatments remains elusive. Meanwhile, animal models, such as mouse, zebrafish, Drosophila, and C. elegans, have proven invaluable in studying human diseases. In response, we have developed DARG, a Database of Alzheimer disease-related genes in model organisms, designed to bridge the gap between human geneticists investigating the molecular mechanisms of the disease and the model organisms that can be used to explore the functions of disease-associated genes. DARG allows users to search and browse Alzheimer-related human genes from various resources and datasets, identify orthologs in model organisms, and access data on their gene expression and related phenotypes in Drosophila.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
