The scientist behind a partially retracted paper that linked chronic fatigue syndrome to a virus, XMRV, has been arrested and jailed in relation to a lawsuit brought by her former employer. Judy Mikovits had been research director at the Whittemore Peterson Institute for Neuro-Immune Disease in Reno, Nevada, but was fired barely two months ago. On 18 November she was arrested by police in Ventura County, California; the lawsuit claims she absconded with laboratory notebooks and proprietary information. See go.nature. com/uwlzph for more.
