RNA studies under fire

Thursday, March 7th, 2013

High-profile results challenged over statistical analysis of sequence data http://www.nature.com/news/rna-studies-under-fire-1.10502

“In July 2010, a team led by Catherine Dulac and Christopher Gregg, both then at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, published a study in Science estimating that 1,300 mouse genes — an order of magnitude more than previously known — were imprinted.
Now, researchers are arguing that a flawed analysis led Dulac and Gregg to vastly over­estimate imprinting in their paper.”
