Narrative:

Taxi out of gate at dca. Clearance was taxiway K, taxiway P, taxiway C, hold short of runway 3 at taxiway C. Taxi was started and then a revised taxi clearance was given of taxiway J, taxiway P, taxiway C, hold short of runway 3 at taxiway C. During transition from taxiway K to taxiway J, captain turned onto taxiway M. We caught error and stopped aircraft short of runway 1. Aircraft departing runway 1 aborted takeoff. Ground asked if we were on runway 1 and we responded negative. He then cleared us onto runway 1 and then to exit at the next taxiway south of taxiway M. Not sure if abort was initiated by pilots or tower control. Commercial chart shows divider between taxiway K and taxiway J which contributed to the confusion.
