Corrigendum: A liquid-crystal-based DNA biosensor for pathogen detection.

This corrects the article DOI: 10.1038/srep22676.

In this Article, the authors neglected to cite related relevant studies investigating the detection of target DNA at LC/aqueous interface. These references should have been listed in the original reference list as Ref 35-38 and should appear in the text as follows.

In the Introduction section,

“Alternatively, numerous DNA detection systems based on the hybridization between a DNA target and its complementary probe, which is present either in solution or on a solid support, have been described3-5.”

In the Methods Section,

“The 16-mer ssDNA sequences 5′-GCACGAAGTTTTTTCT-3′, 5′-CGTGCTTCAAAAAAGA-3′, 5-CGTGCTTCAAATTTCT-3′, 5′-CGTGCTAGTTTTTTCT-3′, and 5′-AACGGGACTCGGGAGA-3′ were purchased from M-Biotech Inc., South Korea.”
