Correction to “Generation of an OMgp allelic series in mice”

Abstract

Lee, J.K., Case, L.C., Chan, A.F., Zhu, Y., Tessier-Lavigne, M. and Zheng, B. (2009), Generation of an OMgp allelic series in mice. Genesis, 47: 751–756. https://doi.org/10.1002/dvg.20557

In the originally published article, there are errors in the α-Tubulin controls on two Western blots presented in Figure 3a and Figure 4b. Two sets of gels, each in duplicate (a total of four gels), were run at the same time, and all were blotted sequentially with antibodies to OMgp and control α-Tubulin. While OMgp signals gave distinct patterns across different samples depending on the mutant conditions, control α-Tubulin signals gave similar patterns, which led to confusion and therefore errors in the figures in the specific lanes used for α-Tubulin controls. There were no errors for OMgp, which was the protein of interest. The authors have tracked the correct lanes for α-Tubulin controls, and the correct Western blot images for Figure 3a and Figure 4a, along with updated quantifications in Figure 3b and Figure 4b, is shown below. The figure legends remain the same for both figures except for the following: Representative data from one of 3–4 (instead of 3) independent sets of biological samples are shown. These errors had no impact on the scientific conclusions of the paper.

We apologize for this error.
