RETRACTED: Inosine-specific cleavage of RNA for microarray analysis of RNA A-to-I editing targets

Abstract

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor. It has come to our attention that there is substantial duplication of some figures between this Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Science article and an earlier paper by the same authors, Chao-Neng Tseng et al, A method to identify RNA A-to-I editing targets using I-specific cleavage and exon array analysis, Molecular and Cellular Probes, Vol 27, 38-45 (2013), http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.mcp.2012.08.008. One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that their work is original and has not appeared in a publication elsewhere. Re-use of any data should be appropriately cited. As such this article represents a severe abuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
