Spiro and Shapiro BMC Bioinformatics (2016) 17:303 DOI 10.1186/s12859-016-1155-x ERRATUM Open Access Erratum to: eSTGt: a programming and simulation environment for population dynamics Adam Spiro and Ehud Shapiro* Erratum After publication of the original article [1] it was brought to our attention that important information was missing from the Acknowledgments. The completed Acknowledgments section should read as follows: Acknowledgements We thank Tamir Biezuner for performing the ex vivo experiment and helping to calibrate the simulation parameters. We also thank Shalev Itzkovitz for raising potential simulation scenarios, Yoni Herzog for user feedback and beta testing, and our various collaborators for useful discussions regarding possible biological scenarios. We would also like to thank the anonymous reviewers for their constructive comments.
