Correction to: Nature Communications https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-11454-9, online 7 August 2019.

The original version of this articles omitted a reference to previous work on the early use of lentiviral vectors in the clinic, reported in Biffi et al. Science 341, https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1233158 (2013); Epub 11 Jul 2013) . This has now been added as reference number 57. In the previous version of the article, the article text stated: ‘Lentiviral vectors recently reached the clinic for the treatment of a severe combined immunodeficiency56’. This text has been corrected to state: ‘Lentiviral vectors recently reached the clinic for the treatment of different types of genetic diseases56,57’.

This has been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.
