Main text(Current Biology 35, 911–917.e1–e5; February 24, 2025)In the STAR Methods section of this paper, errors were made in describing two C. briggsae genotypes. First, strain CP217 is described in the key resources table as harboring the allele Cbr-msrp-3(nm86). nm86 is actually an allele of Cbr-msrp-1, as was correctly stated in the paper’s main text.
