Summary
This article corrects an error in Figure 4 of a previously published study. The corrected figure now accurately displays heatmap data for specific patient subclones, ensuring data integrity.
Area of Science:
- Genetics
- Bioinformatics
- Data Visualization
Background:
- Accurate data representation is crucial in scientific publications.
- Previous versions of this article contained a figure error.
- The error affected the visualization of patient subclone data.
Purpose of the Study:
- To correct a data visualization error in a published article.
- To ensure the accurate presentation of heatmap data.
- To provide the corrected Figure 4 in updated article versions.
Main Methods:
- Identification of a data obscuring error in Figure 4, panel a.
- Correction of grey boxes obscuring heatmap data for patients #2 and #4.
- Updating both PDF and HTML versions of the article.
Main Results:
- The error in Figure 4, panel a has been rectified.
- Adjacent heatmap portions for specific patient subclones are now visible.
- The corrected figure is available in the latest article versions.
Conclusions:
- The correction ensures the integrity and accuracy of the published scientific data.
- Readers can now access an error-free visualization of patient subclone data.
- This ensures reliable interpretation of the study's findings.

The Evidence for Evolution
48.4K
Genetic variations accumulating within populations over generations give rise to biological evolution. Evolutionary changes can result in the formation of novel varieties and entire new species. These changes are responsible for the diverse forms of life inhabiting the planet. The evidence for evolution suggests that all living organisms descended from common ancestors.

Treatment Resistant Cancers
3.8K
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. A cancer cell is genetically unstable and hence can mutate faster. They can also modify their microenvironment and escape immune surveillance. The difficulties in treating cancer are further compounded by the emergence of rapid resistance to anticancer drugs. The most common ways to attain resistance in cancer cells include alteration in drug transport and metabolism, modification of drug target, elevated DNA damage response, or...

Convergent Evolution
33.1K
Evolution shapes the features of organisms over time, ensuring that they are suited for the environments in which they live. Sometimes, selection pressure leads to the rise of similar but unrelated adaptations in organisms with no recent common ancestors, a process known as convergent evolution.

Distance Corrections
303
To achieve precise distance measurements, especially in surveying and construction, certain corrections must be applied to account for potential sources of error like the standardization errors, temperature variations, and slope adjustments.Standardization error emerges when measurement equipment undergoes changes, such as wear, repairs, or weather impacts. To address this, surveyors compare the equipment’s readings to a standard. This process identifies any deviation that might lead to...

Power Factor Correction
562
The power transmission to a factory involves the transfer of apparent power, a combination of active and reactive power. The power factor measures how effectively electrical power is converted into useful work output. The ratio of the real power (KW) that does the work to the apparent power (KVA) supplied to the circuit.

Eukaryotic Evolution
42.5K
The endosymbiont theory is the most widely accepted theory of eukaryotic evolution; however, its progression is still somewhat debated. According to the nucleus-first hypothesis, the ancestral prokaryote first evolved a membrane to enclose DNA and form the nucleus. Conversely, the mitochondria-first hypothesis suggests that the nucleus was formed after endosymbiosis of mitochondria.
Contrary to the endosymbiont theory, the eukaryote-first hypothesis proposes that the simpler prokaryotic and...
