In the originally published version of this article, one row of Table 4, with statistics for the genome of Engelmann spruce, was inadvertently omitted, but the spruce genome statistics were used in the row for Siberian larch, instead of the correct statistics for that genome. The following corrected table 1) provides the correct statistics for the Siberian larch genome and cites the original paper reporting them, 2) adds the row for the Engelmann spruce genome and cites the NCBI BioProject source for those otherwise unpublished statistics, and 3) adjusts the footnote providing the citations for these genomes.
Table 4.
