The definition of “totipotent” was incorrectly identified as “Cell committed to a specific lineage that is capable of giving rise to all types of differentiated cells and tissues, including extraembryonic tissues.” The correct definition is “Cell not committed to a specific lineage that is capable of giving rise to all types of differentiated cells and tissues, including extraembryonic tissues.”
