In Fig 5A–C, Fig 6D–E and Fig 7D, WT-LUC and idm1-14 were in an rdr6-11 background, while idap1-1 and idap2-1 were in wild type background. RDR6 has a demonstrated role in DNA methylation and transcriptional gene silencing, and the rdr6 mutation could therefore have a profound impact on gene silencing in these experiments. Thus, the observed reduced LUC luminescence in idap1-1 and idap2-1 mutants could have resulted from the combined effects of rdr6 and idap1 or idap2 mutations, which might change the main conclusion of this paper. Further experiments will be performed to confirm the phenotypes. All authors concur with this statement and wish to apologize for the inconvenience caused.’ Next ArticlePrevious Article Read MoreAbout the coverClose modalView large imageVolume 35,Issue 18,15 September 2016Cover: Embryonic midbrain dopaminergic neurons. The image shows a coronal section through the ventral midbrain at embryonic day 11.5. All cell nuclei are labelled in light blue. Immunofluorescence for Tyrosine hydroxylase (in green) reveals the presence of dopaminergic neurons. The nuclear receptor NURR1 (in dark blue) labels all dopaminergic neuroblasts and neurons. The transcription factor, PBX1 (in red) identifies a novel subpopulation of dopaminergic neuroblasts and is present in all dopaminergic neurons.
