closePublisher's Note: Errors in the Results Section, the Figure Legend of Figure 9, and the Discussion Section
Posted by PLOS_ONE_Group on 14 Jan 2014 at 18:54 GMT
There are errors in the Results section under the heading “Substitution saturation and entropy,” in the second and third sentences of the first paragraph. The correct sentences are: The number of mutations (transitions and transversions) was highest in the ITS dataset, with transversions being more common than transitions. Substitution saturation occurs when the frequency of transversions overtakes the frequency of transitions.
There is an error in the legend of Figure 9. The acronym for transversion is incorrect. The correct legend for Figure 9 is: DAMBE substitution saturation plots for A) ITS, B) Mix5, C) Mix7 sequence datasets (unaltered T1-0.05 alignments). The number of transitions (s) and transversions (v) is plotted against the K2P distance; lines indicate the mean values (thick lines) and standard deviations (fine lines) of s and v.
In the Discussion section, under the heading “Substitution saturation and entropy,” the authors would like to omit from the fourth sentence of the first paragraph, the phrase “in terms of transitions."
