Cell Biology. In the article “Identification and classification of 16 new kinesin superfamily (KIF) proteins in mouse genome” by Terunaga Nakagawa, Yosuke Tanaka, Eiji Matsuoka, Satoru Kondo, Yasushi Okada, Yasuko Noda, Yoshimitsu Kanai, and Nobutaka Hirokawa, which appeared in number 18, September 2, 1997 of Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA (94, 9654–9659), the authors request that the following correction be noted. In Fig. 5, due to a technical error in the genetic mapping program, the cytogenetic map of the mouse kif5B gene was misidentified. The corrected Fig. 5 and legend are reproduced below.

Figure 5.

Cytogenetic mapping was performed for some of the known KIFs. (A and B). Examples of the fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) mapping (probed for kif5B). (A) The FISH signals on the chromosome (arrows). (B) The same mitotic figure stained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) to identify chromosome 18. (C) The rest of the results are summarized.
