Editor’s note | Science
On 7 December 2007, Science published the Report “Orchestration of the DNA-damage response by the RNF8 ubiquitin ligase” by N. K. Kolas et al. (1). On 6 December 2024, an Editorial Expression of Concern alerted readers that Fig. 3D included a duplicate image (2). The authors have now corrected the paper. As described in an Erratum (3), the authors have repeated the time-lapse microscopy and produced a revised Fig. 3D. They have updated the text and supplementary materials to document the recent work and provided the source data at Zenodo (4). The results were consistent with the paper’s conclusions. These changes have addressed concerns about the integrity of the paper. Therefore, Science has removed the Editorial Expression of Concern and posted this notification in its place to indicate the editors’ confidence in the Research Article’s data and conclusions.
