The original version of this Article contained errors in the units of concentration of three reagents listed in the Methods section. In the first sentence of the ‘Cell lysis’ section of the Methods section, the concentration of KOH was incorrectly listed as 0.4 mM and should have read 0.4 M. In the penultimate sentence of the first paragraph of the ‘Optimization and benchmarking of single-cell WGA-X’ section of the Methods, the concentration of dNTP was incorrectly given as 0.4 µM and should have read 0.4 mM. Finally, in the same sentence, the concentration of dithiothreitol was incorrectly given as 10 µM and should have read 10 mM. These errors have all been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.
