A figure from a scientific paper showing an agarose gel (dark grey background) with DNA bands (light grey horizontal stripes). It looks like four similar bar codes next to each other. Orange and cyan boxes - added by me - highlight parts of the bar codes that look identical.
A figure from a scientific paper showing three electron microscopy photos. They show round virus particles (light grey) on a dark grey background. Colored boxes - added by me - highlight virus particles that look identical.
Wow.
Big #ImageForensics concerns in this #Virology paper from researchers at @usask.bsky.social in Canada, published in MDPI Viruses.
Findings by 'Anthemis tripolitana' and me.
This is very bad.
