In the originally published version of this article, the Acomys
(spiny mouse) is incorrectly referred to as a hamster strain. It is a member of the
rodent family (Muridae). Also, the reference cited for Acomys
regeneration was inadvertently modified during publication. Seifert et al. (2012a) was
incorrectly referenced as Seifert et al. (2012b). Finally, a reference for the
discussion on partial versus complete ear closure was accidentally omitted (Costa et
al., 2009). The main text and references have now been corrected online.The authors regret these errors.
