Competing Interests

I have read the journal's policy and have the following conflicts: Several authors are current or former employees of Idaho Technology. PCT Applications WO2006/121997 and WO2008/140568 have been filed on aspects of the work described here. AJB, JD, AH and CLB collaborate with Idaho Technology, Inc., on several National Institutes of Health and Centers for Disease Control-funded projects (see funding). There are no other relevant declarations relating to employment, consultancy, patents, products in development or modified products. This does not alter our adherence to all the PLoS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
