This Article contains errors.

In Table 1, incorrect values for ‘Consensus Ranking’ are given. The correct Table 1 appears below as Table 1.

Table 1 The distribution of oral cancer genes in HCGN in top ranked lists.

As a result,

“The precision score for top 2%, 5%, 7%, and 10% of the consensus ranked genes was found to be 30.77, 24.67, 23.85 and 19.87 respectively (Table 1). This indicates that consensus ranking is clearly better than individual centralities or unique pooled genes (Table 1). The precision decreases as we move from top ranked 2% to top ranked 10% genes. Though the top ranked 2% genes comparatively showed greater fraction of oral cancer genes in HCGN, the total number of unique oral cancer genes was very less (28 out of total 91 genes, Table 1).”

should read:

“The precision score for top 2%, 5%, 7%, and 10% of the consensus ranked genes was found to be 32.97, 24.67, 21.73 and 19.86 respectively (Table 1). This indicates that consensus ranking is clearly better than individual centralities or unique pooled genes (Table 1). The precision decreases as we move from top ranked 2% to top ranked 10% genes. Though the top ranked 2% genes comparatively showed greater fraction of oral cancer genes in HCGN, the total number of unique oral cancer genes was very less (30 out of total 91 genes, Table 1).”

In Table 3, incorrect values for ‘HCGN Ranking’ and ‘Degree with known oral cancer genes’ are given. The correct Table 3 appears below as Table 2.
