Erratum for the Research Article “Guanosine diphosphate–mannose suppresses homologous recombination repair and potentiates antitumor immunity in triple-negative breast cancer” | Science Translational Medicine

In the Research Article “Guanosine diphosphate–mannose suppresses homologous recombination repair and potentiates antitumor immunity in triple-negative breast cancer” by Ding et al., duplication errors occurred between Fig. 3C and Fig. 5D and between fig. S3C and Fig. 2F. The blot for alpha-tubulin in Fig. 3C and colony images in fig. S3C have been corrected. The mislabeled concentrations in fig. S3C have been corrected. The online versions of Fig. 3C, the Supplementary Materials, and data files S1 and S2 have been updated. The corrections did not affect the conclusions of the paper.
