Author Correction: Multidimensional Profiling of Heterogeneity in Supratentorial Ependymomas
Nature published an author correction on May 6, 2026, for the original research article titled 'Multidimensional profiling of heterogeneity in supratentorial ependymomas,' which was initially released on March 11, 2026. The correction addresses specific errors identified in Figure 1a and Supplementary Table 1 of the study. These errors included mismatched colors for fusion genes in the oncoplot, the incorrect inclusion of three samples, inaccurate sex annotations for the BT165 cell line and patient-derived xenograft, and missing single-cell RNA sequencing annotation for sample STEPN-14. The authors have amended the HTML and PDF versions of the article to reflect these corrections. Crucially, the correction statement explicitly confirms that these data errors do not affect the overall results or scientific conclusions of the study. This update ensures the accuracy of the visual data presented in this significant research regarding central nervous system cancers, specifically focusing on pediatric ependymomas. The work involves a large international collaboration among institutions such as Dana-Farber Boston Children’s Cancer Center and Heidelberg University Hospital.
