The authors identify and provide information to correct an error that was reported in their initial publication, clarifying that their preliminary evaluation was of CDSN and LOR, rather than CDSN and KRT9 as the incorrect paper stated in the introduction.
During a review of the authors’ recently published article entitled “Specific and sensitive mRNA biomarkers for the identification of skin in ‘touch DNA’ evidence,” the authors have identified an error that they wish to identify and correct. In the introduction, they report their preliminary evaluation of CDSN and KRT9. However, their preliminary work included an evaluation of LOR, not KRT9, and the incorrect gene name was reported by mistake. The authors’ preliminary work on CDSN and LOR was presented to the forensic community at the 24th ISFG Congress in Vienna, Austria, and the article included a brief discussion of these same results. This was truly a genuine mistake on the authors’ part and was in no way intended to misrepresent data or to inaccurately critique any of the important work conducted by Visser et al. They deeply apologize to the readers for any confusion this may have caused. (Published Abstract Provide)
