Correction: Mitotic-Chromosome-Based Physical Mapping of the Culex quinquefasciatus Genome.

There is an error in the legend for Fig 3, “A landmark-guided two-step physical mapping approach on Cx. quinquefasciatus chromosomes.” The complete, correct Fig 3 legend is given below.

Chromosomes 1, 2, and 3 are indicated by numbers. Short and long chromosome arms are indicated by letters p and q, respectively. Chromosomes are subdivided into 19 divisions and 72 bands. Genomic supercontigs are indicated by the last 1 to 4 digits of their accession numbers. Genetic markers are shown in brackets.

There is an error in the legend for Fig 4, “Chromosome idiograms with positions of supercontigs and genetic markers.” The complete, correct Fig 4 legend is given below.

FISH of two BAC clones of interest was performed in the presence of 2 additional BAC clones, and 18S rDNA used as landmarks for the chromosome arm identification (A-C). Positions of molecular landmarks and 2 BAC clones of interest are indicated by arrows. Mitotic chromosomes at metaphase were used for the rapid assignment of the genomic supercontigs to the chromosome bands (D). Longer prophase (E) or polytene chromosomes (F) were further utilized for ordering the genomic supercontigs within the band.
