Competing Interests
Peter Kamp Busk and Thomas Litman were employees of Exiqon A/S when the study was performed. In addition, Peter Kamp Busk is the inventor on a patent application for miRNA quantitative PCR but all rights to the patent have been granted to Exiqon A/S. In conclusion they no longer have any competing interest. No other author has any financial or other competing interest. The affiliation with Exiqon A/S does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLoS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
