Abstract

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). This article has been retracted at the request of the editors. Molecular Cell has retracted this article following the results of an investigation carried out by Leiden University Medical Center's Committee of Scientific Integrity, which concluded that unacceptable data manipulation by the last author Maria Fousteri led to breaches of scientific integrity, making these results unreliable. Section 2.2, item 2 of the report indicates several duplications in Figure 4 and that, upon inspection of original data, several proteins stained for by western blotting following immunoprecipitation were incorrectly assigned (Figure 4B). The XPA panel in Figure 4A is a mirrored duplication of an image that was published in Figure 5C of Fousteri et al., 2006 (Mol. Cell 23, 471-482, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.molcel.2006.06.029). Additional details can be found in the redacted version of the investigation report (https://www.lumc.nl/cen/att/80813053317221/1263833/report-lumc-committee-scientific-integrity).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
