Nucleotide sequence reagents underpin molecular techniques that have been applied across hundreds of thousands publications. We previously reported wrongly identified nucleotide in human research publications and described a semi-automated screening tool Seek & Blastn to fact-check their claimed status. screen >11,700 five literature corpora, including all original Gene from 2007 2018 open-access Oncology Reports 2014 2018. After manually checking outputs for >3,400 articles, we...

Abstract The capacity of the scientific literature to self-correct is vital importance, but few studies have compared post-publication journal responses specific error types. We a reagent in 31 human gene knockdown publications, namely non-targeting or negative control nucleotide sequence that instead predicted target gene. papers published by 13 biomedical journals generated 26 (14 retractions, 5 expressions concern, 7 author corrections which included one resolved expression concern) as...

Abstract In an idealised vision of science the scientific literature is error-free. Errors reported during peer review are supposed to be corrected prior publication, as further research establishes new knowledge based on body literature. It happens, however, that errors pass through review, and a minority cases errata retractions follow. Automated screening software can applied detect in manuscripts publications. The contribution this paper twofold. First, we designed erroneous reagent...

Abstract Nucleotide sequence reagents underpin a range of molecular genetics techniques that have been applied across hundreds thousands research publications. We previously reported wrongly identified nucleotide in human gene function publications and described semi-automated screening tool Seek & Blastn to fact-check the targeting or non-targeting status reagents. screen 11,799 5 literature corpora, which included all original Gene from 2007-2018 open-access Oncology Reports 2014-2018....
