Description
Juliana B. Yazigi and six colleagues published a correction in 2026 to their study reporting cancer-causing HPV types in ancient human genomes. The genomes came from the Ice Age hunter Ust'-Ishim and the Alpine mummy Ötzi. The original article, in Scientific Reports, had printed an earlier version of Figure 5 by mistake.
The notice republishes the intended figure with its full legend. The figure maps single-letter DNA changes in the viral E6 and E7 genes from both ancient individuals. It sets them against their sublineage references. It also marks the amino acid substitutions each change produces, plus the protein domains involved, including zinc-finger regions. Readers can now see which variants the authors actually identified in each genome.
