Correction: Corrigendum: Accurate identification of single-nucleotide variants in whole-genome-amplified single cells

In the version of this article initially published, Lodato, M.A. et al. Science 350, 94–98 (2015) (reference 2) was cited as an example of a single-cell sequencing study with high CG-to-TA transitions that applies heat lysis. However, that work used alkaline lysis on ice (Walsh, C.A. and Lodato, M.A., personal communication); therefore, we have changed the third sentence of the paper from “This pathway may explain the observed excess of such mutations in single neurons² compared with unamplified neuronal clones³” to “Amplification artifacts could, in general, explain the observed excess of such mutations in single neurons² compared with unamplified DNA from neuronal clones³.” The error has been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
