Correction: Identification of a Putative Quantitative Trait Gene for Resistance to Obesity in Mice Using Transcriptome Analysis and Causal Inference Tests

There are errors in the second and last sentences of the last paragraph in the Results section. The correct second sentence should read: Ifih1 finally showed an independent relationship with percent CM-TG. In the last sentence, “lipoptotein” should be “lipoprotein.”

There are errors in the second and last sentences of the footnote in S3 Table. In the second sentence, log₂FC ≥ “1.0” should be log₂FC ≥ “0.58 (≥ 1.5-fold)”, and log₂FC ≤ “-1.0” should be log₂FC ≤ “-0.58 (≤ 0.67-fold).” In the last sentence, “M” of M. m. castaneus should be indicated in italics.

There is an error in the Relationship model column of Table 5. “Reactive” should be deleted. Please see the corrected Table 5 here.
