Correction: Corrigendum: Conservation of Y-linked genes during human evolution revealed by comparative sequencing in chimpanzee (original) (raw)

Nature 437, 100–104 (2005)

There is an error in the analysis of one of the genes described in this Letter. The open reading frame (ORF)-truncating frameshift in chimpanzee CYorf15A reported in Table 1 is incorrect: we now find that both human and chimpanzee CYorf15A genes have ORFs of the same length, so chimpanzee CYorf15A does not have a truncated ORF relative to its human orthologue. This finding does not affect our conclusions with respect to preservation of human Y genes. It does mean, however, that the chimpanzee Y chromosome has lost four genes, rather than five genes as stated.
