The original version of this Article contained an error in the Method section, under the subheading ‘Statistical analysis on gene expression stability’, where the URL of the RefFinder software was incorrect.

As a result,

“The Cq values of the ten selected reference gene were analyzed through RefFinder (http://www.leonxie.com/referencegene.php) software, a user-friendly web-based comprehensive tool developed for evaluating and screening reference genes from extensive experimental datasets35.”

now reads:

“The Cq values of the ten selected reference gene were analyzed through RefFinder (https://www.ciidirsinaloa.com.mx/RefFinder-master/) software, a user-friendly web-based comprehensive tool developed for evaluating and screening reference genes from extensive experimental datasets35.”

The original Article has been corrected.
