We have identified an error in the reported genome size of S. arctica. This error was unintentional and reported the genome size of a previous and older version of the genome. This error was found twice in the manuscript. See below.

[1] Under heading- ‘Cellularization is associated with extensive sequential transcriptional waves and is associated with evolutionarily younger transcripts’:

“The final assembly sequences comprised 115,261,641 bp, and the metrics were greatly improved compared to the previous assembly”

The assembly size is 142,721,209 bp.

[2] Figure 3—source data 1:

“Total sequence length of Version 2.1 (this study): 115,261,641 bp”

The assembly size is 142,721,209 bp.

The article has been corrected accordingly.
