In the version of this Article originally published, there were a couple of errors in reference 38 in the reference list. ‘van der Weegan’ should instead be ‘van der Weegen’, and the DOI of the paper should be added to read “van der Weegen, Y. et al. ELOF1 is a transcription-coupled DNA repair factor that directs RNA polymerase II ubiquitylation. Nat. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41556-021-00688-9 (2021).” The errors have been corrected.
