CORRECTION: Multimodal Cell Maps as a Foundation for Structural and Functional Genomics - Nature
A correction has been issued to the article "Multimodal cell maps as a foundation for structural and functional genomics" published in the scientific journal Nature on April 9, 2025. The correction addresses an error in the Loss functions section of the Methods.
According to the correction notice, the fourth equation in the Loss functions section was a duplicate of the fifth equation. In the corrected version, the equation has been revised to read: "Txfrac1msum ivarepsilon Nsum jvarepsilon N,,jne isum kvarepsilon N,,kne i,,jSx(i,,j)(1,-,Sx(i,k))times rmtextmax(D(bfzi,bfzj)-D(bfzi,bfzk)varepsilon ,0)".
This correction was made to ensure the accuracy of the article's mathematical equations. The authors of the original article, Leah V. Schaffer and Mengzhou Hu, contributed equally to the research.
The article, which has been widely cited in the scientific community, explores the use of multimodal cell maps as a foundation for structural and functional genomics. The research aims to integrate data from various sources, including machine learning and network topology, to better understand the complexities of cellular biology.
Dr. Leah V. Schaffer, lead author of the article, stated that "the correction is an important step in ensuring the accuracy of our findings. We are committed to transparency and accountability in our research."
The original article was published as part of Nature's efforts to advance the field of structural and functional genomics. The journal has been at the forefront of scientific publishing for over 150 years, providing a platform for researchers to share their discoveries with the global community.
