Author Correction: Identification of stable housekeeping genes for induced pluripotent stem cells and -derived endothelial cells for drug testing

Correction to: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-20435-w, published online 28 September 2022

The original version of this Article contained an error in the gene name PFDN5, which was incorrectly given as PRDN5 in six instances.

As a result, Table 2

HPRT1

SLC25A3

TMBIM6

PRELID1

RPL36AL

ATP5F1C

PRDN5

now reads,

In addition, Figures 1, 2, and 3 contained the incorrect gene in their X-axes, and in the Supplementary Information in Table S1. The incorrect files appear below.

Mean Ct values. Mean Ct values of iPSC^WT, iPSCS^{SERPINE1-FOSB}, iPSC-EC^WT of each housekeeping gene were shown in a box-and-whisker plot and sorted from the lowest (left) to the highest (right). The five added common housekeeping genes are denoted with an asterisk. The whiskers represent SD of nine samples, three samples per cell line (iPSC^WT, iPSCS^{SERPINE1-FOSB}, and iPSC-EC^WT).

Black bars are ideal housekeeping genes and grey bars are acceptable housekeeping genes. The five added common housekeeping genes are denoted with an asterisk. Note: this tool is not calculating SD.
