The authors wish to apologize for an error within the scale bar of the microarray heatmap in Additional File 5 of the supplementary information. Two values were incorrectly displayed on the scale bar (11 instead of 10 and 13 instead of 12). The scale bar has been changed to reflect these corrections, and the numeric values are now evenly spaced.

This correction has no influence on any analyses or interpretation of the published data and does not affect the validity of the results or conclusions of this paper.
