Correction to: Neisseria lactamica Y92–1009 complete genome sequence

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) 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) 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]

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

• 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…”

• 5) 3rd paragraph under heading “Insights from the genome sequence”: Bracketed abbreviation ‘(DUS)’ has been removed.

• 6) 3rd paragraph under heading “Insights from the genome sequence”: Bracketed abbreviation ‘(CREEs)’ has been removed

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

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

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

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