ERRATUM
Regarding
the article by Kaufman et al, entitled "Transgenic Analysis of a
100-kb Human
-Globin Cluster-Containing DNA Fragment Propagated
as a Bacterial Artificial Chromosome," which appeared in
the November 1, 1999, issue of Blood (Volume
94:3178-3184), a correction should be noted. In "Materials and
Methods," the authors stated that "the P1-derived artificial
chromosomes (PAC) clone designated 4396 was isolated from a commercial
library (Genome Systems, St Louis,
MO). . . . ." Although the human PAC
library was screened at Genome Systems, the library was in fact
prepared by Drs Panos Ioannou and Pieter de Jong. The authors were not aware that Drs Panos Ioannou and Pieter de Jong created this library.
