Erratum: Sex-specific changes in gene expression in response to estrogen pollution around the onset of sex differentiation in grayling (Salmonidae) (BMC Genomics (2019) 20: 583 DOI: 10.1186/s12864-019-5955-z)

Abstract

Following publication of the original article [1], the authors reported an error in the Results section. Under the heading "Gene ontology enrichment analysis", they wrote: "In females at the juvenile stage, GO terms associated to glycogen metabolism (glycogen metabolic processes, insulin receptor signalling pathway) and to heart development were enriched for genes down-regulated under EE2." This text should be corrected as follows: "In females at the juvenile stage, GO terms associated to glycogen metabolism (glycogen metabolic processes, insulin receptor signalling pathway) and to heart development were enriched for genes up-regulated under EE2." The enrichment as noted in Table S4 remains correct. The authors wish to acknowledge Dr. Anke Lange, University of Exeter, who discovered the mistake and reported it.
