Following publication of the original article [1], the authors noted several typographical errors [corrections in boldface]:

• 1. The second sentence of the first paragraph of the Results should read: “A total of 14,112,599 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (14,047,290 biallelic and 65,309 multiallelic) and 1,303,926 short insertions and deletions (Indels) were identified across the goat autosomal genome.”

• 2. The last sentence of the first paragraph of the ‘Short-read alignment and variant calling annotation’ should read: “The ARS1 goat assembly was generated from a horned adult male San Clemente goat.”

• 3. The second-to-last sentence of the last paragraph of the ‘Methods’ section should read: “We then used the combination of the 1822-bp and 369-bp fragments to classify horned, polled, and PIS-affected goats, in 333 sampled goats from four Chinese goat breeds (i.e., JT: n = 150 [86 horned, 60 polled, and 4 PIS-affected], CB: n = 23, TC: n = 42, and NJ: n = 118 [54 male, 64 female]).”

The authors apologize for any inconvenience that these errors may have caused.
