It appears there might be a duplication in Figure 3:

Red boxes: The Cortex Gephyrin blot in panel C (Deletion at P10-11) looks unexpectedly similar to the Cortex Gephyrin blot in panel G (Deletion at P1).

 

 

The senior author promised to look up these blots to see if an error was made (which is understandable and the right thing to do), but despite raising concerns on PubPeer and the comment section on bioRxiv, this issue still has not been resolved. The author claims the concern is ‘unfounded’, but has not provided any original blots to show if this is indeed the case. This is a recent preprint, so original, uncropped blots should be easy to find. Can the authors provide the original blots here, please?
