Competing Interests

The commercial company Medicel set a pilot version of an integrated database at the disposal of the authors. This data is now (upon publication) available as a downloadable, public, SBML format file, as indicated in the manuscript. The authors at that company (Almusa, Matilainen, Roos) appear on the author list since they worked on the integration of the data from multiple databases into a single one and the other authors made use of this integrated data.
