Correction: Identification of a Putative Quantitative Trait Gene for Resistance to Obesity in Mice Using Transcriptome Analysis and Causal Inference Tests.

[This corrects the article DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0170652.].

There are errors in the second and last sentences of the last paragraph in the Results section. The correct second sentence should read: Ifih1 finally showed an independent relationship with percent CM-TG. In the last sentence, “lipoptotein” should be “lipoprotein.”

There are errors in the second and last sentences of the footnote in S3 Table. In the second sentence, log2FC ≥ “1.0” should be log2FC ≥ “0.58 (≥ 1.5-fold)”, and log2FC ≤ “-1.0” should be log2FC ≤ “-0.58 (≤ 0.67-fold).” In the last sentence, “M” of M. m. castaneus should be indicated in italics.

There is an error in the Relationship model column of Table 5. “Reactive” should be deleted. Please see the corrected Table 5 here.
