Chakraborty, Dr. Mahbubur Rahman, Professor David Sack, Dr. Yukiko Wagatsuma, and Professor Kanehisa Morimoto, for the active involvement in the creation of the dataset of the article with which this study was accomplished.

We have corrected the statement in the Acknowledgement. Below is the updated statement of the “Acknowledgement.”
