Moet je straks in Nederland de gevangenis in als je niet de juiste papieren hebt? Of als je hulp geeft aan ongedocumenteerden?

Markus Englund wrote copy-paste-detective to scan open science datasets for copy-paste errors. After scanning 600 datasets, the tool found 18 instances of highly improbable preserved sequences.

This work was funded by Astral Codex Ten's grant program. Markus highlights 3 papers with dubious datasets:

• Gut Microbiota Regulate Motor Deficits and Neuroinflammation in a Model of Parkinson's Disease
• Constraints on the evolution of toxin-resistant Na,K-ATPases have limited dependence on sequence divergence
• Behavioural individuality in clonal fish arises despite near-identical rearing conditions

But this is hardly the bottom of this particular well:

Next up is to scan through the rest of the ~24,000 datasets with Excel files available on Dryad. It will be interesting to see what other treasures we can dig up there! If the 3% error rate holds, we'd expect to see ~700 more cases in that sample alone.
