This Article contains errors in the Results section and the Supplementary Data.

In the Results, under the subheading ‘HCV infection redirects cellular metabolism towards gluconeogenesis’,

“Consistent with this pattern, HCV-infected cells showed lower levels of intracellular glucose (Fig. 1B) and produced more lactate (Fig. 1C)”

should read:

“Consistent with this pattern, HCV-infected cells showed higher levels of intracellular glucose (Fig. 1B) and produced more lactate (Fig. 1C)”.

In Supplementary Table S3, the primers for HDAC9 are missing, and the shHADC9 sequences displayed are incomplete. The correct Supplementary Table S3 appears below as Table 1.
