Nature Article Corrects Figure Errors in Protein Aggregation Study
A correction was issued for a Nature article concerning protein aggregation, protein interaction networks, and ribosome function, according to multiple news sources. The correction addresses errors in Extended Data Figures 2a and 4d of the original publication, which appeared online on August 29, 2018.
The errors stemmed from a mistake during figure preparation that led to misannotated strains, Nature News reported. Specifically, Extended Data Fig. 4d was inadvertently presented as a partial duplicate of Extended Data Fig. 2a, and the strains in both panels were partially misannotated. The assays for multiple strains were performed together on the same petri dish, sharing a wild-type control and yielding highly similar phenotypes.
The corrected figures have been made available, now appearing as Fig. 1, according to Nature News. Despite the errors in the figures, the authors of the study maintain that the overall results and conclusions of their research remain valid. The study investigates protein quality control and chaperone activity, which are crucial for maintaining cellular health. The authors affirmed that these changes do not impact the overall results or conclusions of the study, which investigates protein quality control and chaperone activity.
