Abstract
The article entitled, "Identification of prognosis biomarkers of prostatic cancer in a cohort of 498 patients from TCGA," by Chen Z and Hu H. (J Comput Biol Dec 2019: e-pub ahead of print; DOI: 10.1089/cmb.2019.0224) is being officially retracted at the authors' request due to errors found in the data after publication of the article. The detected errors render the results and conclusion irreproducible, and therefore, invalid. Based on the communications received from the authors, the editorial leadership of Journal of Computational Biology agreed to retract the published paper. However, after retracting the article, it was also discovered that the same article had been previously published in volume 43, issue 6 of the journal, Current Problems in Cancer, published by Elsevier. The publisher of Journal of Computational Biology was in communication with Elseivier since simultaneous submission and/or publication is a violation of the proper protocols of peer review, and they are conducting their own evaluation. Journal of Computational Biology also notified the authors' institution of the infraction. Journal of Computational Biology, its Editor, and its Publisher are committed to preserving the integrity of the scientific record for the community it serves.
