U. of Missouri Resolves 3 Cases.

The article reports on an investigation of potential misconduct at the University of Missouri. Three scientists associated with a 2006 paper, published in "Science," have been cleared of wrongdoing. The editors of "Science" expressed concern that several photographs accompanying the article had been altered. In April 2006 the University agreed to investigate the allegations against senior author R. Michael Roberts and co-authors Hwan Yul Yong, and Mayandi Sivaguru. A fourth author, Kaushik Deb, is no longer affiliated with the University of Missouri but will be subject to a hearing in March 2007.
