Competing Interests

We have read the journal’s policy and have the following conflicts: Daniel A. Portnoy has a consulting relationship with and a financial interest in Aduro Biotech, and both he and the company stand to benefit from the commercialization of this research. This does not alter our adherence to all PLOS polices on sharing data and materials.
