Competing Interests
Rutgers University receives royalties from the sale of prelabeld single-molecule FISH probes by Biosearch Technologies Inc., which markets them as Stellaris probes. A fraction of these proceeds is distributed to Sanjay Tyagi's laboratory for research and to him personally. This does not affect the authors' adherence to all the PLOS ONE policies on data sharing and materials.
