This is a correction to: Eva Šmijáková, Luboš Brim, Samuel Pastva, David Šafránek, Control-guided refinement of partially specified Boolean networks: applications to RTK signaling, Bioinformatics, Volume 42, Issue 6, June 2026, btag275, https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btag275
In the originally published version of this manuscript, Figures 1 and 2 were erroneously switched. This error has been corrected.
Additionally, the ‘Example’ column in Table 1 contained erroneous characters.
Table 1.
Phenotype related terms.a
| Concept | Real-world | Example | Network | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Character | Properties of interest | Presence of FRS2 tyrosine residue phosphorylation | Set of BN variables | {FRS2} |
| Trait | Observation of properties | FRS2 tyrosine residue is not phosphorylated | Character valuation; alternatively a subspace | {FRS2 → 0} ⋆0⋆ |
| Phenotype | Observation combination | FRS2 or ERK is phosphorylated | Combination of traits | ⋆ 1 ⋆ ∪ ⋆ ⋆ 1 |
The table explaining the notions of character, trait, and phenotype in the context of real-world concepts in Boolean network models. The considered example is a small excerpt from the FGFR3-MAPK pathway in our case study.
The corrected Table 1 reads:
