Wow! At least, somebody must have forced them to say the truth, eh? Nothing more annoying than a corrigendum for a nature paper ... or maybe, having no nature paper is even more annoying? Maybe I should adopt that trick

This is plain horrible.
What a great example! Thank you PCRman. I love Nature you make our life a lot of easier. I have a database of PCR and western blot bands of different shapes, density, I am good at using illustrator. I am going to submit one (no I mean two) paper to Nature tomorrow. Don't say I have done something wrong I just follow the perfect example given by you.
simply unbeliveable 
but as a general statement, I don't like the habit, that nowadays westernblots and gels are not shown as a whole anymore. I understand that is is more compact, to just display the bands, but it's not really scientific
