Volume 97, no. 12, e01511-23, 2023, https://doi.org/10.1128/jvi.01511-23. Page 7: A calculation mistake was made in the first paragraph of the section titled “The space of the possible: an unexploited resource?” The first two sentences should read as follows. “The theoretical sequence space available to any virus is an unimaginably large number (2). In the case of SARS-CoV-2 with a genome length of about 29,900 nucleotides, considering all possible point mutations, the theoretical sequence space is of 4^29,900 different genomes (4 being the number of nucleotides at any position; possible rare, non-standard nucleotides, are ignored); 4^29,900 is 1.6 × 10^18,064, an unimaginably vast number.”

This error does not impact the conclusions of the article.
