Other authors of this paper include Christopher P. Dillon, Stephen W. G. Tait, Simon Moshiach, Samuel Connell and Sebo Withoff (St. Jude); Masaaki Komatsu and Keiji Tanaka (Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Medical Science, Japan); Frank Dorsey and John L. Cleveland (The Scripps Research Institute, Jupiter, Florida).
