Retraction of: Scientific Reports 10.1038/s41598-017-06656-4, published online 22 August 2017
The Authors have retracted this Article.
The alignment provided in the supplementary material and uploaded to TreeBASE1 is not the one used to construct the tree of copepod orders reported in the Article. Unfortunately we did not retain a copy of the original alignment. Additionally, 9 out of 492 fragments submitted to GenBank were mislabelled. As a result, the published tree of copepod orders cannot be reproduced with the provided alignment, and some of the conclusions reported in the paper cannot be recapitulated.
Sahar Khodami, Leocadio Blanco-Bercial & Pedro Martinez Arbizu agree with this retraction. J. Vaun McArthur could not be reached.
