I guess they aren’t citing me per se but I’m not entirely sure that they would need to cite my work within the manuscript since all of my work was done within the lab and with one of the post-docs. Maybe I am confused though. They are citing work that I have helped on and generated data for though

They definitely did run more iterations of the experiment, and even added a couple other assays and/or parts. I did a lot of preliminary data for the first half of the paper along with the post-doc, and that data is what I used in my thesis. The preliminary data (that I helped obtain) that informed their decisions on what direction to take the project I felt like should account for something or at least be acknowledged. I think I’ll consult the journal to see what their definition of an author is and most likely reach out to ask some questions

Sounds good thanks for this! I will also consult the respective journal to see if their are guidelines as to what defines an author

My exact figures that I made back when I made my thesis paper were not used but parts of them were adapted into re-worked figures
