In the above-mentioned article, we presented the SCUREL method for inferring changes in 3′ UTR length from single cell sequencing data. To benchmark the method, we used publicly available data sets from systems in which the 3′ UTR dynamics was studied before, namely T cell activation and spermatogenesis. We now realize that we made a mistake in presenting the timeline of spermatogenesis, by placing spermatocytes after, instead of before early spermatids. This does not affect the method comparison or the subsequent analysis of other data sets; it only implies that the direction of 3′ UTR length changes with respect to the developmental timeline should be inverted. More specifically, 3′ UTRs become shorter during germ cell maturation, not longer.
Therefore, we would like to make the following changes to the text:
The paragraph “We carried out a similar analysis on a mouse spermatogenesis data set (Lukassen et …
