As a result of cuts made during editing, the News Feature on gene silencing (Nature 404, 804; 2000) failed to mention that post-transcriptional gene silencing in plants was co-discovered by Joseph Mol and his colleagues at the Free University of Amsterdam. Researchers led by Jan Kooterin Mol's lab were also the first to demonstrate the post-transcriptional nature of the phenomenon. Interested readers can find a full review of the history of gene silencing in plants in Trends in Plant Science (4, 340–347; 1999).
