Correction for Gongora et al., Indo-European and Asian origins for Chilean and Pacific chickens revealed by mtDNA

ANTHROPOLOGY. For the article “Indo-European and Asian origins for Chilean and Pacific chickens revealed by mtDNA,” by Jaime Gongora, Nicolas J. Rawlence, Victor A. Mobegi, Han Jianlin, Jose A. Alcalde, Jose T. Matus, Olivier Hanotte, Chris Moran, Jeremy J. Austin, Sean Ulm, Atholl J. Anderson, Greger Larson, and Alan Cooper, which appeared in issue 30, July 29, 2008, of Proc Natl Acad Sci USA (105:10308–10313; first published July 28, 2008; 10.1073/pnas.0801991105), the authors note that in the Abstract, line 20, “China” should be replaced with “the Philippines.” The corrected sentence should read: “In contrast, sequences from two archaeological sites on Easter Island group with an uncommon haplogroup from Indonesia, Japan, and the Philippines and may represent a genetic signature of an early Polynesian dispersal.” Additionally, on page 10310, left column, second full paragraph, line 11, the phrase “native chicken sequences from Africa, India, Central Asia, and China” should instead read: “native chicken sequences from India, Central Asia, and China.” These errors do not affect the conclusions of the article. Finally, the authors wish to include Nicolas J. Rawlence, Olivier Hanotte, and Sean Ulm among those credited with writing the paper; Sean Ulm among those credited with performing research; and Alan Cooper among those credited with analyzing data. The corrected author contributions footnote appears below.
