Summary
An author correction was issued regarding Fig. 1b in the article. The original figure inadvertently duplicated Ponceau staining from supplementary data, which has now been corrected.
Area of Science:
- Biochemistry
- Molecular Biology
- Cell Biology
Context:
- The article discusses nucleosome preparations from HeLa cells.
- Figure 1b in the original publication contained duplicated Ponceau staining.
- The duplication was from supplementary data (Supplementary Fig. 1b).
Purpose:
- To correct an error in figure preparation.
- To ensure accurate representation of experimental data.
- To adhere to best practices in scientific publishing.
Summary:
- The original Fig. 1b (right, bottom) inadvertently showed duplicated Ponceau staining.
- This duplication originated from the same nucleosome preparation from HeLa cells used in Supplementary Fig. 1b.
- An Author Correction has been published to provide a corrected Fig. 1b.
Impact:
- Ensures data integrity and reproducibility.
- Upholds scientific rigor and transparency.
- Provides accurate visual data for readers.

02:20Milgram's Obedience to Authority
7.4K
Obedience to authority is classically demonstrated in a more famous series of social psychology experiments performed by Stanley Milgram. He was a social psychology professor at Yale who was influenced by the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a Nazi war criminal. Eichmann’s defense for the atrocities he committed was that he was “just following orders.”

02:54Nucleosome Remodeling
11.2K
Nucleosomes are the basic units of chromatin compaction. Each nucleosome consists of the DNA bound tightly around a histone core, which makes the DNA inaccessible to DNA binding proteins such as DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase. Hence, the fundamental problem is to ensure access to DNA when appropriate, despite the compact and protective chromatin structure.

The extent of chromatin compaction can be studied by staining chromatin using specific DNA binding dyes. Under the microscope, the dense-compacted regions that take up more dye are called heterochromatin. Heterochromatin is further classified into two forms – constitutive heterochromatin and facultative heterochromatin.
Constitutive heterochromatin: It is a highly compact region of chromatin that is mostly concentrated in the centromere and telomere. Unlike euchromatin, the amino acid at...

01:26Bone Markings
8.1K
Bones have various surface features that help form joints and attach to other soft tissues. Depending on the function, bone markings are categorized into articulating projections, processes for attachment, depressions, and openings.
Articulating Projections
Articulating projections are found where two bones meet to form a joint. These structures are usually found at the ends of bones. The largest articulation is a rounded projection called the head, supported by a narrow neck at the ends of...

01:15Distance Corrections

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...
