Erratum to: Direct RNA Sequencing of the Coding Complete Influenza A Virus Genome (Scientific Reports, (2018), 8, 1, (14408), 10.1038/s41598-018-32615-8)

Abstract

In the original version of this Article, Matthew W. Keller and Benjamin L. Rambo-Martin were omitted as equally contributing authors. The original version of this Article also contained typographical errors. In the legend of Table 1 where: “Influenza A/Florida/20/2018 (H1N1pdm09), A/Texas/50/2012 (H3N2), A/chicken Ghana/20/2017 (HPAI H5N1) and A/British Columbia/1/2015 (LPAI H7N9) viruses were used to demonstrate this method’s broad utility across contemporary influenza A viruses of current clinical significance”. now reads: “Influenza A/Florida/20/2018 (H1N1pdm09), A/Texas/50/2012 (H3N2), A/chicken Ghana/20/2015 (HPAI H5N1) and A/British Columbia/1/2015 (LPAI H7N9) viruses were used to demonstrate this method’s broad utility across contemporary influenza A viruses of current clinical significance”. Additionally, in the Results section under subheading ‘Sequencing RNA from crude versus purified influenza rA/ Puerto Rico/8/1934 (H1N1) virus’ where: “The read level accuracy was 86.3 ± 0.3%, and the consensus sequence was 98.97 ± 0.01% in concordance with consensus sequence generated using our standardized multi-segment reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (M-RTPCR)15,16, Nextera, and MiSeq approach (Tables 2 and S3)”. now reads: “The read level accuracy was 86.2 ± 0.3%, and the consensus sequence was 98.97 ± 0.01% in concordance with consensus sequence generated using our standardized multi-segment reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (M-RTPCR)15,16, Nextera, and MiSeq approach (Tables 2 and S3)”. These errors have now been corrected in the PDF and HTML versions of the paper.
