Corrigendum: A liquid-crystalbased DNA biosensor for pathogen detection (Scientific Reports (2016) DOI: 10.1038/srep22676)

In this Article, the authors neglected to cite related relevant studies investigating the detection of target DNA at LC/aqueous interface. These references should have been listed in the original reference list as Ref 35-38 and should appear in the text as follows. In the Introduction section, "Alternatively, numerous DNA detection systems based on the hybridization between a DNA target and its complementary probe, which is present either in solution or on a solid support, have been described3-5." should read: "Alternatively, numerous DNA detection systems based on the hybridization between a DNA target and its complementary probe, which is present either in solution or on a solid support, have been described3-5,35-38." In the Methods Section, "The 16-mer ssDNA sequences 3′ -GCACGAAGTTTTTTCT-3′ , 3′ -CGTGCTTCAAAAAAGA-3′ , 5-CGTGCTTCAAATTTCT-3′ , 3′ -CGTGCTAGTTTTTTCT-3′ , and 3′ -AACGGGACTCGGGAGA-3′ were purchased from M-Biotech Inc., South Korea." should read: "The 16-mer ssDNA sequences 3′ -GCACGAAGTTTTTTCT-3′ , 3′ -CGTGCTTCAAAAAAGA-3′ , 5-CGTGCTTCAAATTTCT-3′ , 3′ -CGTGCTAGTTTTTTCT-3′ , and 3′ -AACGGGACTCGGGAGA-3′ 35 were purchased from M-Biotech Inc., South Korea." These Ref 35-38 are listed below as Ref 1-4.
