Correction to: Nature Genetics https://doi.org/10.1038/s41588-025-02317-9, published online 8 September 2025.

In the version of this article originally published, there were labeling errors in several figures. In Fig. 2a, b, in the y-axis label now reading “Inferred pairwise TMRCA (generations),” the word “generations” was missing, while in the right-hand panel of Fig. 2a, the m.s.e. value now reading “0.78” appeared originally as “078.” In Fig. 3a, panel headers “SINGER; Relate; tsinfer+tsdate” were missing. The color keys in Fig. 4a were all mistakenly labeled “SINGER 90% CI” and now specify the ARGweaver and Relate methods. In Extended Data Fig. 3b, panel headers for the SINGER and ARGweaver plots were missing. The figures have been amended in the HMTL and PDF versions of the article.
