The Editor has retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised about three of the figures:
Panels A1 and F1 in Fig. 8 appear to be duplicates.
Panels D and F in Fig. 6 appear to overlap.
Panel E2 in Fig. 2 appears to be identical with Fig. 3 in [1].
The authors have provided data files. However, these have not allayed the concerns and the Editor therefore no longer has confidence in the results and conclusions presented. None of the authors has responded to correspondence from the Editor about this retraction.
