In the version of this article initially published, the average durations for N2, cha-1(n2411) and cha-1(p503) shown in Figure 2b (white bars) were incorrect because the n-values used to calculate them included cases in which no nictation was observed:The error has been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.

There were errors published in Development 139, 859-870.The legend to Fig. 3E should read: Percentage of gonad arms containing meiotic (differentiated) nuclei in rsks-1, glp-1(ar202) and glp-1(ar202) rsks-1 (n=22, 21, 59) at the indicated stages.Two strains reported as bearing daf-16(mu86) actually carry the daf-16(m26) allele. Correct genotypes for these strains listed in Tables S1, S6 and S7 and in experiments reported in Fig. 4A and Fig. 5E, as well as related text and legends are:GC1238: rrf-1(pk1417) daf-16(m26)VB1040: daf-16(m26); rsks-1(sv31).The conclusions of the paper are not altered by these errors. The authors apologise to readers for these mistakes.

We identified a cDNA expressed sequence tag from an animal (the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans) that showed weak similarity to a higher-plant microsomal Delta6-desaturase. A full-length cDNA clone was isolated and expressed in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This demonstrated that the protein encoded by the C. elegans cDNA was that of a fatty acid Delta6-desaturase, as determined by the accumulation of gamma-linolenic acid. The C. elegans Delta6-desaturase contained an N-terminalcytochrome b5 domain, indicating that it had a similar structure to that of the higher-plant Delta6-desaturase. The C. elegans Delta6-desaturase mapped to cosmid W08D2, a region of chromosome III. This is the first example of a Delta6-desaturase isolated from an animal and also the first example of an animal desaturase containing a cytochrome b5 domain.
