The original publication of this article contains an erroneous description, which is corrected as stated below.

In the first paragraph of “Results”, the fourth sentence reads,

“A preliminary analysis using our own perl script found 37,952 positions of SbfI recognition sites in the reference genome … 79,836 SbfI-based RAD loci in the A. japonica genome (twice the number of SbfI recognition sites)”. However, the number of SbfI recognition sites in the reference genome should be 39,918.
