Algorithm of OMA for large-scale orthology inference

Since the publication of our article (Roth, Gonnet, and Dessimoz: BMC Bioinformatics 2008 9: 518), we have noticed several errors, which we correct in the following. Correction We lately identified inadvertent errors in our publication [1]. We regret these errors, and offer our sincere apologizes for the confusion and inconvenience. The corrections are described in detail in what follows. Formation of stable pairs In the main text of section "Formation of stable pairs", the formula for stable pair formation is missing a minus sign after the "greater than" symbol. The sentence should read: "Formally, a pair of sequences (x, y) from genomes X and Y is considered a stable pair if and only if, for all xi OE X, xi x, and for all yj OE Y, yj y: d d k d dj jxy xy xy xy- > - -s 2 ( ) and d d k d di ix y xy x y xy- > - -s 2 ( ) where d is a pairwise maximum likelihood distance estimate and k, the tolerance parameter of the standard deviation between the two dis...
