This Author Correction pertains to the Original Article titled “Mapping self-associating chromatin hubs identifies Id proteins as key determinants of exhausted CD8+ T cell fate,” which was published online 6 July 2026 in Nature Immunology. The correction clarifies and corrects statements in the Methods section and the Data availability statement concerning the provenance and GEO accession of RNA‑seq data for CD8+ TN cells. The correction notice was published 23 September 2026 (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41590-026-02695-0) and the changes have been applied to both the HTML and PDF versions of the Original Article.
In the Methods section, under the heading “Under RNA‑seq and data analyses,” the final sentence of the “Data generation” paragraph was originally written as: “The RNA‑seq FASTQ files of CD8+ TN cells were previously reported and deposited at the GEO (GSE164712).”
This statement was incorrect. The corrected sentence now reads: “The RNA‑seq data of CD8+ TN cells were newly generated and deposited at the GEO (GSE343749).”
The correction therefore changes both the characterization of the CD8+ TN cell RNA‑seq material (from previously reported to newly generated) and the GEO accession referenced (from GSE164712 in the original, incorrect sentence, to the correct accession GSE343749).
The Data availability section of the Original Article omitted the accession number GSE343749. This omission has been rectified and the accession GSE343749 has been added to the Data availability statement.
As described in the correction notice, the RNA‑seq data for CD8+ TN cells in question are newly generated and can be accessed at GEO under the accession GSE343749. The notice indicates that these corrections have been implemented in both the online HTML and downloadable PDF versions of the article.

The notice states that the indicated corrections (Methods sentence and Data availability accession) have been updated in both the HTML and PDF versions of the Original Article available from Nature Immunology. No additional methodological, experimental, or interpretive changes beyond the data provenance and accession corrections are reported in this notice.
Notes
All details in this rewritten correction summary and the sections above are drawn from the Author Correction notice as published by Nature Immunology. Where the original notice did not provide further specifics (for example, details of the RNA‑seq generation methods beyond the brief statement corrected), those additional details were not reported in the source and are not included here.
