In the Research Article “Spatially resolved single-cell translatomics at molecular resolution,” one of the ribosome profiling datasets (Lin et al.) was mislabeled: It was collected from human MCF10 cells, not HeLa cells. Therefore, the authors performed the analysis again with the use of a HeLa dataset (Darnell et al.). The results showed improved correlation (r increased from 0.33 to 0.53), strengthening the original conclusion. Fig.
