Abstract

This article¹ has been retracted by the editor because an investigation by the National Institutes of Health concluded that the data represented by Figures 2a-c and 3e and Figure 4a were falsified. JT Arnold, SI Rapoport, RN Ertley, and RP Bazinet agree with this retraction. JS Rao and H-J Lee could not be reached for comment.
