After an investigation, the University of Cambridge has concluded that there was falsification of research data used in the Report “Human SIRT6 promotes DNA end resection through CtIP deacetylation” (1), which was the subject of an Editorial Expression of Concern in September 2018 (2). The investigation concluded that the first author, Abderrahmane Kaidi, was responsible for the falsification of the data. In agreement with the recommendation of the investigation, the authors are retracting the Report.
