Retraction Notice
This article, Advancing High-Resolution Imaging of Virus Assemblies in Liquid and Ice, has been retracted at the request of the Editors-in-Chief due to concerns about the integrity of the data presented. These concerns included: (a) Figure 3 was found to contain noise without structural features expected for a protein capsid; (b) critical half-map data necessary to verify resolution claims were not deposited; (c) there was a lack of system logs or controls to rule out stage drift regarding observed movements in Figure 3; and (d) the absence of protocols to address Brownian motion and beam-induced drift significantly weakened the reliability of the findings.<br/><br/>The corresponding author's indication she principally relied on RMEASURE program did not sufficiently address the publisher's concerns. After consulting external experts, the Editors-in-Chief concluded that the issues remain unresolved, and the data do not meet JoVE's standards for scientific reliability and reproducibility, requiring retraction. The corresponding author disagrees with the grounds for retraction. Co-authors DiCecco, Grandfield and Bator agree with the retraction. Other co-authors were unavailable for comment.
