This note concerns the review article by Carlberg and Seuter entitled “Dynamics of nuclear receptor target gene regulation”, published in Chromosoma (2010) 119:479–484. We wish to draw the reader’s attention to the fact that this review includes a discussion of a publication (Degenhardt et al. (2009) Cell 138: 489–501) that has subsequently been retracted (see Cell (2010) 143: 651). Passages in the review that refer to the retracted paper should be interpreted with due caution.
