Corrigendum: Enhancer–silencer transitions in the human genome
Genome Research 32: 437–448 (2022)
In the above-mentioned article, the authors would like to correct the citation of the prior studies of mesodermal silencers functioning as enhancers during Drosophila embryonic development and provide additional background information in the introductory section. Although the original citation was factually correct, the expanded citation provides a more accurate and extended description of the prior work on enhancer–silencer transitions in Drosophila. This correction has no impact on either the data, results, or conclusions reported in this article.
The corrected text (third paragraph, fourth sentence) reads as follows:
“…whereas 22 out of 29 (76%) identified mesodermal silencers were shown to act as DFREs in large enhancer screens (Gallo et al. 2011; Bonn et al. 2012) and were later augmented by additional six DFREs picked up by a targeted enhancer analysis (thus, bringing the total to 28/29 [Gisselbrecht et al. 2020]).”
