The below statement in the Background of the original article [1] was incorrect. Individual viral genes with diel transcriptional rhythms were in fact listed in the supplementary dataset S05 (Sheet 2) of Aylward et al. 2017 [2]. This statement therefore needs to be corrected as outlined below. This correction does not affect the results and conclusions.
The original text:
“However, it was not shown in this study whether individual viral genes in a scaffold show diurnal transcriptional rhythms, as the combined transcripts mapped to all the genes in a scaffold were used for diel periodicity analyses ([1] reference [2] in this correction).”
Corrected text:
Several viral genes in the scaffolds also showed diurnal transcriptional rhythms [2], but it remains to be determined whether the peak expression times of early, middle, and late cyanophage genes are different.
