The authors regret that an error has appeared in the above article.

The terms

‘exon’ and ‘intron’ have been interchanged in the

chapter LUNG CANCER: POTENTIAL CLINICAL APPLICATIONS OF

GENOMIC SEQUENCING on page 605.

The sentence

‘Whole genome sequencing includes both intron

(coding regions of the DNA) and exons (non-coding regions of the

DNA).

’ should correctly read: ‘Whole genome sequencing includes

both exons (coding regions of the DNA) and introns (non-coding

regions of the DNA).
