 A Corrigendum on Metagenomic probing toward an atlas of the taxonomic and metabolic foundations of the global ocean genome by Laiolo E, Alam I, Uludag M, Jamil T, Agusti S, Gojobori T, Acinas SG, Gasol JM, Duarte CM. (2024). Front Sci (2024) 1:1038696. doi: 10.3389/fsci.2023.1038696 shotgun metagenomics microbes ocean gene catalog biodiversity ocean domains functional genomics biogeochemical cycling

In the original article, there was an error. The correct number of total gene clusters for KMAP Global Ocean Gene Catalog (KMAP GOGC 1.0) is 308.6 million instead of 317.5 million.

This error came from our internal calculations when comparing ocean clusters shared with other biomes and here the number of clusters were double counted. However, the number of annotated clusters (164.8 million) based on which all taxonomic and functional assessments for the ocean are reported in Laiolo et al., 2024 are correct and remain unchanged.

Corrections have been made to different sections of the publication, reported below:

Abstract: ~317.5 million to 308.6 million.

Key points: 317.5 million to 308.6 million.

Introduction, just before Results: ~317.5 million to 308.6 million.

Taxonomic distribution of genes: Change the following: “The KMAP Global Ocean Gene Catalog 1.0 comprises 317.5 million gene clusters, of which 164.8 million (51.91%) were annotated” to “The KMAP Global Ocean Gene Catalog 1.0 comprises 308.6 million gene clusters, of which 164.8 million (53.4%) were annotated”.

Discussion: Change the following “The KMAP Global Ocean Gene Catalog 1.0 consists of 317.5 million gene clusters, of which 51.91% (164.8 million) have been annotated.” to “The KMAP Global Ocean Gene Catalog 1.0 consists of 308.6 million gene clusters, of which 53.4% (164.8 million) have been annotated”.

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.
