Correction to: Nature Genetics https://doi.org/10.1038/s41588-026-02524-y, published online 10 March 2026.

In the version of the article initially published, in the Extended Data Fig. 3 legend, “The motif of telomeric region is TTAGGG” should have read “The motif of telomeric region is TTTAGGG”. This correction has been made to the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
