Author Correction: The chromosomal organization of horizontal gene transfer in bacteria

Abstract

Correction to: Nature Communications 10.1038/s41467-017-00808-w, published online 10 October 2017. The original version of this Article contained an error in Eq. 2. This equation incorrectly included a 2 in the denominator, and incorrectly read: \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\beta _{{\mathrm{SIM}}} = \frac{{\mathop {\sum}\nolimits_{i < j} {{\mathrm{min}}\left( {b_{ij}, \, b_{ji}} \right)} }}{{2 \cdot \left( {\mathop {\sum}\nolimits_i {S_i \, - \, S_T} } \right) \, + \, \mathop {\sum}\nolimits_{i < j} {{\mathrm{min}}\left( {b_{ij}, \, b_{ji}} \right)} }}$$\end{document} β SIM = ∑ i < j min b i j , b j i 2 ⋅ ∑ i S i − S T + ∑ i < j min b i j , b j i . The correct form of Eq. 2 is: \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\beta _{{\mathrm{SIM}}} = \frac{{\mathop {\sum}\nolimits_{i < j} {{\mathrm{min}}\left( {b_{ij},\, b_{ji}} \right)} }}{{\left( {\mathop {\sum}\nolimits_i {S_i \, - \, S_T} } \right) \, + \, \mathop {\sum}\nolimits_{i < j} {{\mathrm{min}}\left( {b_{ij}, \, b_{ji}} \right)} }}$$\end{document} β SIM = ∑ i < j min b i j , b j i ∑ i S i − S T + ∑ i < j min b i j , b j i All the calculations of BSIM are correct and were made following the correct form of Equation 2. This has been corrected in the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.
