The term FKPM (fragments per kilobase of transcript per million fragments sequenced) is incorrect throughout. The correct description should be FPKM (Fragments Per Kilobase Of Exon Per Million Fragments Mapped).

The following references are omitted in the article:

Two references are omitted from the second sentence of the second paragraph in the Introduction. The sentence should read: In recent years, several studies using the EST database and RNA-sequencing approaches have identified fusion RNAs involving neighboring genes, which were named “transcription-mediated gene fusions”, “tandem chimerism” and “conjoined genes” by various groups [9,10], (Prakash et al., 2010), (Parra et al., 2006).

The references are:

Two references are omitted from the seventh sentence of the first paragraph under the subheading “Classifications of the fusion RNAs” in the Results section. The sentence should read: cBioPortal query on TP53 showed only 14.7% alteration in TCGA in the prostate cancer set. Consistently, LNCaP cells contain wild type TP53 [18], (Cerami et al., 2012), (Gao et al., 2013).

Two references are omitted from the first sentence of the first paragraph under the subheading “CTCF binding in between parental genes” under the subheading “Further validation for cis-SAGe fusion RNAs in the Results section. The sentence should read: “We used two methods to evaluate the evidence for CTCF binding in-between the 38 pairs of parental genes: 1) visual examination of CTCF binding sites generated by ENCODE on the UCSC genome browser (Fig. 3B and Table 1), and 2) searching for CTCF binding site on the Insulator Database, CTCFBSDB (Ziebarth et al., 2013), (Bao et al., 2008).

Two references are omitted from the second sentence of the fourth paragraph under the subheading “Expression of the cis-SAGe fusion RNAs in prostate cell lines and clinical cases” in the Results section. The sentence should read: With IGV analyses [24], (Robinson et al., 2011), (Thorvaldsdóttir et al.,), 11 out of the 16 cis-SAGe fusions were also found in this dataset (Fig. 5E).
