Conclusion
The claim for a novel SIR-like gene, SIR-T8, has been retracted, but the finding that SIR-T7 is overexpressed in thyroid carcinoma remains valid.
Supporting Evidence
- The claim for a novel SIR-like gene, SIR-T8, has been retracted.
- The finding that SIR-T7 is overexpressed in human thyroid carcinoma cell lines and fresh biopsies remains valid.
Takeaway
The researchers made a mistake about a gene they thought was new, but they still found that another gene is more common in thyroid cancer.
