Correction to ‘Revisiting metazoan phylogeny with genomic sampling of all phyla’

Since the publication of this manuscript, a number of minor errors have made themselves known, which do not, however, substantively alter our results or conclusions. During the construction of figure 5b, the terminal labels for Porifera and Ctenophora were erroneously switched. We here provide a corrected version of the figure with the proper labels, as in the original posterior consensus tree on which it is based (electronic supplementary material, figure S20). In the construction of the electronic supplementary material (ESM) figures, the cladogram given for electronic supplementary material, figure S7 (on which figure 2a,b was based) did not correspond to the posterior consensus summary conditions referred to in the figure caption. In the revised electronic supplementary material associated with this Correction, electronic supplementary material, figure S7 now contains the correct cladogram referred to by its caption. Elsewhere in the electronic supplementary material figure captions (for electronic supplementary material, figures S7–S9, S17 and S20), the posterior consensus summary conditions were misreported. We have now corrected these captions to reflect parameter values of PhyloBayes ‘bpcomp’ that reproduce the trees shown in each electronic supplementary material figure. In the original electronic supplementary material, we also signified that cDNA libraries annotated with ‘*’ were amplified via the phi29-mRNA amplification (PMA) method, conflicting with the use of this symbol described in the electronic supplementary material, table S1 caption to mark rogue taxa. We have removed this conflict; ‘*’ is now intended only to refer to rogue taxa. SRA metadata describe which libraries were amplified via PMA. An incorrect NCBI accession number for the ‘Pedicellina sp. FHL’ library also appeared in electronic supplementary material, table S1, which has now been replaced with the correct accession. Finally, an anomaly introduced by the journal's copy-editing process, and not caught at proof-reading, erroneously removed one author, Gert Wörheide, from the author list of references 11, 12, 16 and 29. The correct references are given below:

Figure 5.

Cladograms depicting metazoan relationships outside Bilateria, summarizing relationships from CAT + GTR + Γ4 analysis of the non-Bilateria specific matrix, varied as follows: (a) amino acid matrix with all sampled opisthokont outgroups; (b) the same, recoded into Dayhoff-6 groups; (c) amino acid matrix including only Choanoflagellata as outgroups; (d) the same, recoded into Dayhoff-6 groups. On the matrix pruned of non-choanoflagellate outgroups, BMGE-trimming was performed after pruning, yielding a matrix of 68 337 sites, in contrast to the 61 096 sites retained when all outgroups are included prior to trimming. Trees have been arbitrarily drawn with the root between Apusomonadida and Opisthokonta. (Online version in colour.)
