Abstract :
This article has been retracted at the request of the authors. Please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal ().
Reason: Shortly after publication of this paper, concerns were brought to the authorsʹ attention regarding similarities in the plots quantifying the interchromosomal distances derived from FISH images. The authors undertook extensive investigation and confirmed a series of data duplications and transversions in the original dataset. Although they continue to believe the central conclusions of the paper based on confirmation and further studies by other scientists in their laboratories, given the extent of errors in the published plots, the authors feel compelled to retract the paper. They apologize to the scientific community for any confusion these errors may have caused and wish to sincerely thank the colleagues who communicated this problem to them in recent weeks.
