The gene sequenced was in fact the gene C/EBP-1, a thyroid hormone receptor gene and transcription factor. As a consequence, instead of TRβ, it should read “the thyroid hormone receptor gene C/EBP-1” throughout the paper and supporting information of the article online. This error, however, does not strongly affect the main interpretation of our results. The C/EBP-1 gene, as the TRβ gene, is a thyroid hormone receptor with the dual function of repressing or activating thyroid-induced gene expression before or during tadpole metamorphosis. The C/EBP-1 gene, like TRβ, is a primary early TH-response gene during metamorphosis (Becker, Schneider, Davey, & Galton, 1995; Chen & Atkinson, 1997; Mochizuki, Goda, & Yamauchi, 2012; Murata & Yamauchi, 2005). It is not a general TH-receptor, but a specific one involved in the reprogramming of gene expression in the liver during amphibian metamorphosis (Chen & Atkinson, 1997; Chen, Hu, & Atkinson, 1994). The C/EBP-1 gene is a homologue to the mammalian C/EBP-α gene, which is known to play an essential role in cell cycle, hematopoiesis, differentiation and host immune response (Tsukada, Yoshida, Kominato, & Auron, 2011). Metamorphosis of a tadpole to a frog involves coordination between environmental cues, endocrine system and tissue-specific developmental programmes, like the one described in the tadpole liver tissue, which orchestrate changes in form and function required in the transition from aquatic to terrestrial lifestyle. We would like to thank Yvonne Meyer-Lucht for pointing this out. References Becker, K. B., Schneider, M. J., Davey, J. C., & Galton, V. A. (1995).
