Abstract

B. Mayne, W. Mustin, V. Baboolal, F. Casella, K. Ballorain, M. Barret, M. A. Vanderklift, A. D. Tucker, D. Korbie, S. Jarman and O. Berry, "Age Prediction of Green Turtles With an Epigenetic Clock," Molecular Ecology Resources 22, no. 6 (2022): 2275-2284, https://doi.org/10.1111/1755-0998.13621. The above article, published online on 15 April 2022 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editors-in-Chief, Shawn Narum and Ben Sibbett; and John Wiley & Sons Ltd. The retraction has been agreed upon following an alert from one of the authors, S. Jarman, identifying that the results shown in Figure 2 are inaccurate and do not represent a real relationship between age and DNA methylation. Consequently, the editors consider the results and conclusions invalid. The authors, S. Jarman, B. Mayne, M. A. Vanderklift, O. Berry, K. Ballorain and M. Barret agree with the decision to retract this article.
