Dear colleagues,

In this manuscript we cited two references that are retracted. The papers are listed below. The authors wish to thank the readers of PLOS and the editorial staff for making us aware of the oversight.

We apologize for any problems our error may have caused.

Sincerely,

Dr. Laura S Stone
