Rejected candidates

Candidate Why rejected
Nat Commun 2017 Fig 1/2/4/5 (Saunderson et al.) Mostly schematics, EPIC-array scatter plots, PCA plots — no usable microscopy
Nat Commun 2019 BRD9 paper Figs 1–5 (PMC6479050) Panels are CRISPR screens, mass-spec, western blots, heatmaps — no microscopy imagery
Nat Commun 2021 DMRT1 paper Fig 3 (PMC8377058) Histology present but largely redundant with the chosen Shibata pancreas histology
