Corrigendum: A Metataxonomic Tool to Investigate the Diversity of Treponema

In the original article, there was a mistake in Figure 1 as published. The figure contains an error in the number of cycles for the “add indices and adapters” step. The step should read 8 cycles instead of 20 cycles. The corrected Figure 1 appears below.

The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
