Competing Interests
The authors have read the journal’s policy and have the following conflicts: Andrea Spencer, Ronald Hernan, and Heather Holemon were employed at Sigma-Aldrich Biotechnology during the RNAi screen. Sigma-Aldrich sells the MISSION library that was used in this study. This does not alter the authors’ adherence to all the PLoS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
