Correction: Boyd, P.S., et al. NMR Studies of Retroviral Genome Packaging. Viruses 2020, 12, 1115

Text Correction

There was an error in the original article [1]. The wording suggested that conclusions of some studies were corrected in subsequent research, when in fact the mentioned studies focused on two different viruses with different behaviors. A correction has been made to the Introduction section, paragraph 3, sentence 3, and subsequent references have been renumbered:

Dimerization of the MoMuLV genome occurs co-transcriptionally or near the site of the provirus [53–57] whereas HIV genomes dimerize randomly [54,58], most likely after being exported from the nucleus [59] and possibly not until they reach the plasma membrane [30].

The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused and state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. The original article has been updated.
