Translational research program is intended to provide scientists with an incentive to examine research findings from the perspective of concrete applications or other uses, and to give outstanding researchers an opportunity to develop these findings into specific applications and/or economic, societal or social benefits. This program is jointly funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) and the Austrian Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology (BMVIT). Therefore, the acknowledgments section of the paper “Evaluation of the lasso and the elastic net in genome-wide association studies” should state:
“The financial support of the Austrian Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology (BMVIT) and the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) via the project TRP46-B19 is greatly acknowledged.”
