The Original Article was published on 24 July 2017

Correction

After publication of the original article [1] it was identified that an incorrect version of the manuscript has been published. This was caused by a technical error which led to a discrepancy between the editorially-accepted version of the manuscript, and the published version.

A list of Corrections is included below:

  1. 1)

    The following abbreviations have been corrected throughout the article:

    Nla changed to N. lactamica

    Nme changed to N. meningitides

    N.go changed to N. gonorrhoeae

    Nci changed to N. cinerea

  2. 2)

    Table 1: ‘Term’ and ‘Evidence code’ columns of the first 7 rows have been updated to the following:

Domain Bacteria

TAS [37]

Phylum Proteobacteria

TAS [38]

Class Betaproteobacteria

TAS [39, 40]

Order Neisseriales

TAS [39, 41]

Family - Neisseriaceae

TAS [42]

Genus Neisseria

TAS [42]

Species Neisseria lactamica

TAS [42, 43]

  1. 3)

    Table 2: Missing/blank term for MIGS 13 has been changed to read “Strain is not publicly available”.

  2. 4)

    2nd paragraph under heading “Insights from the genome sequence”: Sentence containing “…approximately a third (33.5%) of all open reading frames (ORFs) in this genome…” has been shortened to “approximately a third (33.5%) of all ORFs in this genome…”

  3. 5)

    3rd paragraph under heading “Insights from the genome sequence”: Bracketed abbreviation ‘(DUS)’ has been removed.

  4. 6)

    3rd paragraph under heading “Insights from the genome sequence”: Bracketed abbreviation ‘(CREEs)’ has been removed

  5. 7)

    Bracketed link for PHAST ‘(http://phast.wishartlad.com/index.html)’ changed to reference 35.

  6. 8)

    Reference 14 initially missing from article, has now been added and correctly referenced

  7. 9)

    Reference 33 was removed, as it was a duplicate of reference 30.

  8. 10)

    References 36–40 removed, and replaced with updated reference list (36–46):
