Abstract

This Letter is being retracted owing to issues with Fig. 1d and Supplementary Fig. 31b, and the unavailability of original data for these figures that raise concerns regarding the integrity of the figures.

Authors Michael Foley, Monica Schenone, Nicola J. Tolliday, Todd R. Golub, Steven A. Carr, Alykhan F. Shamji, Andrew M. Stern and Stuart L. Schreiber agree with the Retraction. Authors Lakshmi Raj, Takao Ide, Aditi U. Gurkar, Anna Mandinova and Sam W. Lee disagree with the Retraction. Author Xiaoyu Li did not respond.
