Definitions of viruses (Edward Rybicki, 18 April 2013)
A great piece of work - and since I met Dr van Etten in 1982 in Lincoln, after he and co-workers discovered the first PCBV, something I've been waiting quite a long time to see!
I especially like the comment "...which suggests that the recently acquired genes originate from a still largely un-sequenced reservoir of genomes, possibly other unknown viruses that infect the same hosts.", as it meshes really well with what I have been telling students for while now:
"A virus is an infectious acellular entity composed of compatible genomic components derived from a pool of genetic elements."

Corrected expression values in supplementary tables (Matthias Erwin Futschik, 06 August 2012)
The original supplementary tables 2-5 of this article contained some entries, which were given as date instead as a number (caused by automatic formating in Excel). These entries were corrected in the revised supplementary tables, that can be found at our web-page.

There is a typo in the Table 1, where the protein number of Arabidopsis genome should be 27,169. We regret the confusion caused by this typo.

erratum concerning Figure 3 (Marc Robinson-Rechavi, 17 May 2012)
A mistake escaped our attention while correcting the proofs, for which we apologize.
The caption of figure 3B should not be: ("B) immune system co-module containing lymph node and thymus", but rather should be: "(B) co-module containing liver and kidney".

Diverse buffers for dosage imbalances (Ariel Fernandez, 17 May 2012)
Expression divergence due to subfunctionalization, the focus of this contribution, is one of various regulatory mechanisms to buffer the effects of dosage imbalance resulting from gene duplication. There are other processes operating at the post-transcriptional regulatory level (protein oligomerization, micro-RNA suppressive control, post-translational modifications, etc.) that may serve as alternative buffers to mitigate the effects of dosage imbalance (A. Fernández and J. Chen, Genome Research 19, 2185-92, 2009). For this reason, we postulate two broad but distinctive distributions corresponding to two qualitatively different buffering regimes that are apparent in the plots of Fig. 1: One regime, in which genes exclusively or nearly exclusively resort to expression divergence as a buffer...

Correction of Figure 4B (Maria Jose Lopez-Barragan, 23 January 2012)
The ID numbers of the genes and isoforms shown in Figure 4B are MAL7P1.157, MAL7P1.157a and MAL7P1.157b, instead of MAL7P1.175, MAL7P1.175a and MAL7P1.175b, respectively.

Update information (Ganggang Guo, 29 November 2011)
We've noticed that the link of maize WebFPC database link has changed, and some of the neareast markers of maize ARFs are inconsistent with its BAC location in Table 1. The updated information are as follows: a. The new link of WebFPC ( http://www.genome.arizona.edu/fpc/maize/WebFPC/) in the 4th part of Methods paragraph; b. The updated Table 1 is too large to post here, please contact the author when you need, we will email it to you as soon as possible.

query regarding this software (Mamoonah Chaudhry, 18 October 2011)
dear author, one of my friend referred this article to me as i was aiming to do allele specific PCR. i found this software very useful.As i am trying to design primers using this software, maximum Tm difference is quite confusing, as far as my knowledge is concerned, it should be not more than 5 degree c. whenever i try to change it in software, it designs no primers. please give me your email address for direct contact or please help me in this regard.
The microarray data associated with this manuscript can now be found with the GEO accession number GSE31625. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE31625

I have serious concerns about the statistical methods used in this paper. With the recent advances in statistical methods for genome-wide association studies, I am troubled that the authors did not account for pedigree relationships between cows in the study. For an overview of different methods available to correct for cryptic relatedness see Nat Rev Genet. 2010 Jul;11(7):459-63.; J Dairy Sci. 2008 Nov;91(11):4414-23.; and Am J Hum Genet. 2011 Jan 7;88(1):76-82..
