The News story ‘Encryption faces quantum foe’ (Nature 525, 167–168; 2015) incorrectly named the location for the cryptography workshop that began on 6 September. The workshop was held at the Schloss Dagstuhl–Leibniz Centre for Informatics in Wadern, not the Leibniz Center for Informatics in Oktavie-Allee.

The News Feature ‘Fishing for the first Americans’ (Nature 525, 176–178; 2015) incorrectly credited the photo taken at Cooper’s Ferry. Credit should have gone to Hayden Wilcox, not Joanne McSporran.

The News story ‘Health study set to decide data policy’ (Nature 525, 16–17; 2015) incorrectly stated that an NIH working group planned to create a blanket data-sharing policy for the Precision Medicine Initiative. It is in fact developing a policy that can accommodate participants’ varying interest in seeing their own genetic information.
