摘要

In his response to Eric Warrant’s editorial, Lior Pachter talks a good game about the importance of truth in the advancement of science. He argues that this is achieved by scientists challenging each other in the pursuit of truth, and that he has done this by reviewing the output from our lab and publishing his findings as a preprint on arXiv. However, a year after we have provided extensive explanations and scientific counter arguments to the claims in his arXiv preprint, debunking his spurious and false allegations of scientific misconduct, he shows no interest in addressing our responses and continues to repeat the same allegations in his response to Eric Warrant’s Editorial. Since the publication of Luebbert and Pachter’s preprint in May 2024, the relevant journals have examined and found no merit in their accusations, agreeing instead with our admission of inadvertent errors in four papers for which corrections have already been published. By continuing to peddle the same accusations despite evidence to the contrary, Pachter demonstrates that he is unwilling or perhaps incapable of following through on his own “plea for academic truth”.
