Hi all, for many years, Greg and I and others have been collecting "mea culpas" on research failures due to computational mistakes -- here's one that caught my eye the other day:
http://www.unz.com/gnxp/there-was-no-vast-migration-of-eurasians-into-africa/ Reads to me like a workflow system would have helped here... This is pretty high profile; last paragraph: If something like this happened to me I???d probably literally throw up. This is horrible. But then again, this paper made it into Science, and Nature wrote articles like this: First ancient African genome reveals vast Eurasian migration. The error has to be corrected. cheers, --titus
