Corrigendum: Identification of a 5-Methylcytosine Site that may Regulate C/EBPβ Binding and Determine Tissue-Specific Expression of the BPI Gene in Piglets

In this Article the Authors incorrectly stated that they had developed a novel method termed bisulfite amplicon sequencing (BSAS). The method was reported by Masser et al. (reference 18 in the Article). Thus the following sentence (which appears verbatim in ref. 18): " By combining the benefits of bisulfite conversion, targeted amplification, tagmentation-based library construction , and NGS, we have developed a novel method termed bisulfite amplicon sequencing (BSAS) for targeted digital high accuracy quantitation of DNA methylation 18. " should read: " In a previous study, Masser et al. developed a method termed bisulfite amplicon sequencing (BSAS) for targeted digital high accuracy quantitation of DNA methylation by combining the benefits of bisulfite conversion, targeted amplification, tagmentation-based library construction, and NGS 18. " The following sections in " Materials and Methods " failed to appropriately cite the protocols followed: " DNA bisulfite conversion and bisulfite specific PCR. " should read: " DNA bisulfite conversion and bisulfite specific PCR 13. " " NGS library preparation and sequencing. " should read: " NGS library preparation and sequencing 18. " " Real-time PCR analysis. " should read: " Real-time PCR analysis 13. " OPEN
