Publisher's Note: Primer name correction

Posted by dbuckley on 08 Jan 2013 at 18:46 GMT

The primer set referred to as 'Ueda 19F/388R' was named incorrectly.

The correct name should be 'Ueda 19F/407R' throughout.

The incorrect name was used in two lines in the results, one line in the discussion, in Table 6, and in the legend for Figures S7 and S8.
