So This is a new one- we get the following reason for bouncing a paper submission: ‚1. We noticed that there are significant overlaps in lines xxx-xxx‘. Now these passages are descriptions of sample prep workflows- cells grown under the same conditions etc… is this due to journal AI use?

Postdoc position available in my lab! Project will focus on how the microbiome-derived metabolite butyrate shapes C. difficile fitness and pathogenesis & will build on our previous/ongoing work in this space. Apply here: hr.wisc.edu/postdoc-and-...
