Author Correction: The selective tRNA aminoacylation mechanism based on a single G•U pair

Area of Science:

• Genetics
• Molecular Biology
• Bioinformatics

Background:

• Accurate representation of genetic sequences is crucial for biological research.
• The D loop is a key regulatory region in various genetic elements.
• Ensuring data integrity in published scientific literature is paramount.

Purpose of the Study:

• To report a specific typographical error in a published figure.
• To clarify the correct sequence annotation in the D loop.
• To inform readers of the uncorrected status of the original publication.

Main Methods:

• Comparative analysis of the figure with the original data.
• Identification of the erroneous character insertion.
• Documentation of the specific location of the error (Fig. 1b, D loop, after G15).

Main Results:

• An inadvertent insertion of the nucleotide 'U' was identified.
• The error is located in the D loop sequence, following guanine at position 15 (G15).
• The original article has not yet been updated to reflect this correction.

Conclusions:

• The identified error in Fig. 1b requires reader attention for accurate interpretation.
• Correct sequence annotation is essential for downstream genetic analysis.
• Prompt correction of published data ensures scientific reproducibility.
