Erratum to: Genes Genom (2015) 37:141–151 DOI 10.1007/s13258-014-0252-3

Regrettably, the original version of the article contains a few errors. These errors should be corrected as follows:

  1. 1.

    In page 143 of the published article, the line 16–18 should be corrected as follow: the gene order of Ty1-copia retrotransposons is PR–INT–RT–RH, whereas that of Ty3-gypsy retrotransposons is PR–RT–RH–INT.

  2. 2.

    Figure 1 should be corrected as follow.

    Fig. 1

    Structure of the Ty1-copia and Ty3-gypsy retrotransposons. Both LTR retrotransposons have long terminal repeats at both ends. The gene order at the Pol region is different between the Ty1-copia and Ty3-gypsy elements.
