The world map in ‘GM crops: A story in numbers’ (Nature 497, 22–23; 2013) wrongly highlighted Slovenia instead of Slovakia as one of Europe’s GM-crop-producing nations. The table in the News story ‘Log-jam in agency confirmations’ (Nature 497, 418–419; 2013) omitted Christine Todd Whitman’s full name. In the News story ‘Graphene knock-offs probe ultrafast electronics’ (Nature 497, 422–423; 2013), reference 2 should have cited volume 438, not 483. And the News Feature ‘Outward bound’ (Nature 497, 424–427; 2013) wrongly stated that Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 were renamed en route to Jupiter. In fact, they were renamed before launch.
