In the Report “The inner centromere–shugoshin network prevents chromosomal instability” by Y. Tanno et al. (1), the representative images for comparison in Fig. 2C and figs.
S13C and S15A were captured under inconsistent imaging conditions. In figs. S8B, S11F, and S12B, the images used for comparison were not adjusted using identical settings.
In fig. S8A, the dot blots were mislabeled and not properly adjusted for contrast. We show corrected images and explanations as supplementary material.
Given that we used the original images to calculate signal strength in the Report, we do not believe that the changes to the representative images affect our conclusions.
However, because of the number of errors, we have decided to retract the Report.
