Retraction Note to: 3 Biotech (2017) 7:71 10.1007/s13205-017-0669-x
The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article because of concerns about the data reported in Figures 1 and 2. The K = 3 data in Figures 1 and 2 appear to be identical with each other although different molecular markers are used. These data also appear to be identical with those shown in Figure 2 of Rouhian et al. (2017) and those shown in Figure 2 of Hakimi et al. (2017). The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the results and conclusions presented. The authors have not responded to correspondence from the Publisher about this retraction.
