Since the online publication of this article the authors realised an error in the Materials and Methods Section. On p. 7, under 'Locked nucleic acids', the text reads: ‘The short LNA oligonucleotide sequence (anti-miR-10b), 5′-ThioMC6-D/GTGTAACACGTCTATACGCCCA-3′, directed against miRNA-10b and a mismatch scrambled sequence (scr-miR), 5′-ThioMC6-D/CACAAATTCGGTTCTACAGGGTA-3′, were synthesized by Exiqon Inc.’

The designation of the sequences is wrong. The sequence listed as anti-miR-10b is in fact the mismatch scrambled sequence and the mismatch scrambled sequence is in fact the anti-miR-10b sequence.

The text should read: ‘The short LNA oligonucleotide sequence (anti-miR-10b), 5′-ThioMC6-D/CACAAATTCGGTTCTACAGGGTA-3′, directed against miRNA-10b and a mismatch scrambled sequence (scr-miR), 5′-ThioMC6-D/GTGTAACACGTCTATACGCCCA-3′, were synthesized by Exiqon Inc.’

The authors apologise for any inconvenience caused by this error.
