Competing Interests
I have read the journal's policy and have the following conflicts: JET will be an inventor on a pending patent application covering this RNAseH assay and the compounds identified with it. SGS and MAP will be inventors on patent application(s) covering compounds #12-15. This does not alter our adherence to all PLoS Pathogens policies on sharing data and materials.
