Concluding comment on the Devignot et al. paper

I thank Drs Couissinier-Paris and Tolou for their comments on the difficulty they had in order to sucessfully perform their awesome paper. I also thank Drs Couissinier-Paris and Devignot for their e-mails and was very sorry to hear that its publication had unfortunately been delayed by months. My question would be, why would anybody wish to do that?

I have never read a paper in the field of DHF/DSS pathogenesis that had such an incredible effect on myself and the field. I was absolutely stunned by the quality of its design, execution and most importantly its genomw-wide analyses. I therefore very strongly believe that this should be seen as the classic study which provided the greatest contribution to the field of dengue virus pathogenesis so far published.
