Abstract
Conrad et al. (Reports, 10 August 2012, p. 742) reported that Drosophila dosage compensation might largely be due to increased recruitment of RNA polymerase II to promoters. A reassessment of the numerical operations revealed that the authors' calculations are severely confounded by an inappropriate numerical procedure. A rectified analysis strongly suggests that the authors' conclusions are not supported by their data.
