When this paper was first published online, an error was found in the following sentence on page 3:
The receptorbinding specificity was determined by hemagglutinin assays, revealing that the NX488-53 virus preferentially binds α-2, 3-linked avian sialic acid receptors (Supplementary Fig. S2)
The correct sentence should read:
The receptorbinding specificity was determined by hemagglutinin assays, revealing that the NX488-53 virus preferentially binds α-2, 6-linked avian sialic acid receptors (Supplementary Fig. S2)
This has now been corrected.
