As in Kosakamoto et al. Nature Metabolism, 2022, there are pairs of samples with the same RT-PCR values.
Also, one of the methionine restriction samples (-Met) has a value of exactly 4.
In addition to the exact matches pointed out above, three pairs of numbers where one value is the exact integer multiple of the other were found in Fig. 5d.
Similar cases of exact matches and integer multiples were also found in Supplementary Figure 3f.
Note: In a related post on another paper, the authors clearly explained how the precision limit of the qPCR machine and the ΔΔCt method lead to appearance of identical numbers or 2x, 4x, ... numbers. I thank the authors for the clarification.
