The editorial office was contacted by researchers claiming that the article reported wrongly identified nucleotide sequence reagents [1]. Assessment by the Editor-in-Chief found that the claim has significant impact on the article’s conclusions, which would need rectification. Unfortunately, the authors did not respond despite several attempts; therefore the article has been retracted.
