Correction to: BMC Genomics 23, 44 (2022)https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-021-08264-zFollowing publication of the original article [1], a typographical error was reported in the ‘Background’ section of the article. The incorrect and corrected sentences are given below, with the correction highlighted in bold:The incorrect sentence read:Twenty-one nt siRNAs, on the other hand, mainly cause transcriptional repression through the plant-specific RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) pathway, inducing de novo DNA methylation [8].The corrected sentence is:Twenty-four nt siRNAs, on the other hand, mainly cause transcriptional repression through the plant-specific RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) pathway, inducing de novo DNA methylation [8].The original article [1] has been corrected.
