A Corrigendum on
An Evolutionary Arms Race Between Burkholderia pseudomallei and Host Immune System: What Do We Know?

by Chomkatekaew, C., Boonklang, P., Sangphukieo, A., and Chewapreecha, C. (2020). Front. Microbiol. 11:612568. doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2020.612568

In the original article, there was a mistake in Figure 1 as published. The annotation of core and accessory genes in the Figure 1 was misplaced. The corrected figure appears below.

FIGURE 1

Figure 1. Selection pressure acting on B. pseudomallei population. The histogram summarizes ranges of dN/dS calculated from predicted coding sequences from a collection of diverse B. pseudomallei population from northeast Thailand (Chewapreecha et al., 2019), and B. thailandensis genomes from the public database. B. pseudomallei and B. thailandensis have highly plastic genomes comprising of at least two chromosomes of ~7–8 Mb in size when combined. Using a pan-genome approach, all coding sequences could be categorized as “core” (present in all genomes) or “accessory” (variably present across studied genomes). Accessory genes display an elevated level of dN/dS which is signatures of positive selection or more relaxed purifying selection.

The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
