In the article by Balaji Iyengar, John Roote and Ana Regina Campos (Genetics 153: 1809-1824) entitled "The tamas gene, identified as a mutation that disrupts larval behavior in Drosophila melanogaster, codes for the mitochondrial DNA polymerase catalytic subunit (DNApol-g 125)", on page 1822, Figure 10, the legend for part (B) is "Sequence alignment of tam⁹ allele against Oregon-R wild type sequence. The shaded box shows mutation at nucleotide 1783 in tam⁹ (A to C); this causes an amino acid change (glutamic acid to alanine)." Panel (C) is "Sequence alignment of tam² allele against the corresponding parental sequence. The alignment shows an amino acid change from glutamic acid to valine at amino acid position 813 in a highly conserved polymerase domain." Panel (D) is "Sequence alignment of tam³ against corresponding parental strain showing a 5-bp deletion beginning at nucleotide position 3371." These corrections do not affect any of the conclusions or data presented in the article.
