Correction to: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-79312-3, published online 18 November 2024

In the original version of this Article, the legends of Figure 9 and Figure 11 were switched.

As a result, The Legend of Figure 9

“(A,B) PKS immunolabeling at base of spine and (C,D) at spine tip (distal). Note how the tip is highly enriched for the PKS protein, relative to the base. Bar = 100 microns.”

now reads:

“Quantitation of larval pigment gene expression in adult spines of red/white/green colormorphs of Lytechinus variegatus using qPCR (A). Values were normalized to ubiquitin and then to the values of the red colormorph. Significance measurements are shown in the graph (B).”

And the Legend of Figure 11

“Quantitation of larval pigment gene expression in adult spines of red/white/green colormorphs of Lytechinus variegatus using qPCR (A). Values were normalized to ubiquitin and then to the values of the red colormorph. Significance measurements are shown in the graph (B).”

now reads:

“(A,B) PKS immunolabeling at base of spine and (C,D) at spine tip (distal). Note how the tip is highly enriched for the PKS protein, relative to the base. Bar = 100 microns.”

The original version of this Article has been corrected.
