Competing Interests

The authors have read the journal’s policy and have the following conflicts: DAL currently receives investigator-initiated research support from the National Institutes of Health, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Curridium Ltd and Pfizer and in 2010–2012 served as a consultant in the areas of target identification and validation and new compound development to BioLine RX, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Merck. TH served as a consultant for Ono Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. in 2012. None of above funders was involved in the study design; collection, analysis, and interpretation of data; writing of the paper; or decision to submit for publication of this study. This does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLoS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
