Correction to: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-88443-0, published online 19 February 2025

The original version of this Article contained an error in the legend of Fig. 1, where the descriptions of panels (b) and (d) were switched.

“The effect of DNA extraction and library building protocols on (a) endogenous content; (b) aligned q30 unique read length distribution; (c) library complexity (as calculated using preseq); and (d) collapsed read proportion. See Supplementary Table 1 for detailed alignment statistics.”

now reads:

“The effect of DNA extraction and library building protocols on (a) endogenous content; (b) collapsed read proportion; (c) library complexity (as calculated using preseq); and (d) aligned q30 unique read length distribution. See Supplementary Table 1 for detailed alignment statistics.”

Furthermore, Supplementary Material file 1 published with the original version of this Article was a previous version. Due to an error during production the incorrect file was assembled for publication.

The original Article and the accompanying Supplementary Material file 1 have now been corrected.
