GoKawiilNature issues author correction to DYNLL1-MRE11 DNA repair study
The authors of a paper on DYNLL1 binding MRE11 in BRCA1-deficient cells have issued a correction after discovering an error in Extended Data Fig. 2c, where an incorrect tubulin loading control blot was used due to a figure-assembly mistake. The panel has been replaced with the correct image from the original experiment, and the underlying source data provided with the paper were confirmed to be correct.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The correction addresses a presentation error in supplementary figure material rather than the scientific data itself, so the study's core findings on DNA end resection and BRCA1 deficiency remain unaffected according to the authors. Such corrections are a routine part of maintaining transparency and accuracy in published research.
- A tubulin loading control blot in Extended Data Fig. 2c was swapped for an incorrect image during figure assembly.
- The authors have replaced it with the correct blot from the original experiment.
- The authors state the error does not change the paper's results, interpretation, or conclusions.
