GENETICS Correction to Supporting Information for “Genetic independence of mouse measures of some aspects of novelty seeking,” by Christopher L. Kliethermes and John C. Crabbe, which was first published March 21, 2006; 10.1073/pnas.0509724103 (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 103:5018–5023).
The authors note that Fig. S4 appeared incorrectly. The corrected Fig. S4 and its legend appear below. The SI has been corrected online.
Fig. S4.
Inbred strain differences in six responses: rears measured in the first test in the activity monitor (A); locomotion as measured by the initial response to the activity monitor (B); novel environment preference (C); head dips (D); object preference (E); and spontaneous alternation (F). The dotted lines in C, E, and F indicate chance performance levels for those tasks. Bars for A–E represent the mean of each strain ±SEM; the bars for F indicate the proportion of mice choosing the novel arm.
The authors would also like to note the following: “We found an error in the spontaneous alternation data reported in Fig. S4F that affects the genotypic correlations shown for this measure in Figure 1. This error does not affect the genotypic correlations among the other measures, and does not substantively alter any of the conclusions of the paper. The corrected genotypic correlations (n = 14 strains) between spontaneous alternation and rears (−0.49), novel environment preference (−0.19), head dips (−0.26), and object preference (−0.03) differ only slightly in magnitude from the values we originally reported, and remain statistically insignificant. However, the corrected correlation between spontaneous alternation and activity (−0.54; previously reported as −0.44) now reaches statistical significance at the P < 0.05 level. These data are available at the Mouse Phenome Database (https://phenome.jax.org).”
