Sagewas made aware through a PubPeer post that there are concerns of image duplication in Figure 6:
In Figure 6B Ishikawa rowHOXB-AS1+mimics NC panel appears to have overlap with Figure 6C Ishikawa row HOXB-AS1+mimics NC panel
After an internal investigation, Sage has become aware that the submission of this article involved an unauthorised third-party. The authors have explained the overlap in images is an error and provided the raw data and images of the article.
This article has been retracted due to the unresolved concerns about the integrity of the images and overall integrity of this research.
