There was an error published in Development132, 4545-4552.

The sentence on page 4550 ‘Following Berg and Purcell (Berg and Purcell, 1977), threshold detection of the gradient occurs when:

where δbin is the uncertainty in the concentration measurement for one bin.’

should instead have read:

‘Following Berg and Purcell (Berg and Purcell, 1977), threshold detection of the gradient occurs when:

where δbin is the uncertainty in the concentration measurement for one bin.’

The publishers apologise to the authors and readers for this mistake.
