Oops!
Finding typos in a paper post-publication is dismaying, if inevitable. This isn’t usually fatal and will generally go unnoticed. Even after sinking hours of labour into it there are bound to be some miner errors.
The take home here? Regardless of the amount of times you’ve proofread your research output, do it again. We still don’t know how the authors and the editors missed these gaffes. Regards – KFPanda

An unintentionally honest method appears in another paper, where the authors state: ‘In this study, we have used (insert statistical method here) to compile unique DNA methylation signatures.’
