Competing Interests
Debashish Bhattacharya served as an academic editor for PLOS ONE until December 2013; i.e., during the initial review period of this manuscript. He is however no longer a PLOS ONE Editorial Board member. This does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
