The case for well-conducted experiments to validate statistical protocols for 2D gels: different pre-processing = different lists of significant proteins.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Circular forms of viral genomic DNA are generated during infection of cells with retroviruses like HIV-1. Such circles are unable to replicate and are eventually lost as a result of cell division, lending support to the prevalent notion that episomal retroviral DNA forms are dead-end products of reverse tran...
