Correction: ‘Conservation and turnover of miRNAs and their highly complementary targets in early branching animals’ (2021), by Praher et al. (Proceedings of the Royal Society (2021) 288 (20203169) DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2020.3169)

Correction note: The authors have recently become aware of errors in figures 3 and 4 of our paper by Praher et al. (2021) [1] titled ‘Conservation and turnover of miRNAs and their highly complementary targets in early branching animals’ published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B 288: 20203169. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2020.3169 In brief, miR-2026 does not exist in Acropora millepora or any other reef building coral (as correctly shown in figure 1), and therefore the following corrections are required. Main text The sentence ‘The number of conserved miRNA targets ranges between three and seven with Six3/6 being the most conserved one in all antho zoan species sequenced (figures 3 and 4)’ was corrected to ‘The number of conserved miRNA targets ranges between three and seven with Six3/6 and NR2 being the most conserved one in all anthozoan species sequenced (figures 3 and 4)’.
