Some are less important in code comments, but majority of them are in user-facing places. I manually approved 60%+ of the changes and didn't see any that were an incorrect suggestion, at worst it was potentially uncessesary, like a code comment having cant instead of can't.

The assembling of the HSPs was performed with spreadsheet interpolation and manual inspection. </p> <h2>Verification</h2> <p> NumtS predicted in silico were validated by carrying out PCR amplification and sequencing on blood-extracted DNA of a healthy individual of European origin. PCR amplification was successful for 275 NumtS and provided amplicons of the expected length. All PCR fragments were sequenced on both strands, and submitted to the EMBL databank. </p> <p> Furthermore, 541 NumtS were validated by merging NumtS nuclear coordinates with HapMap annotations. Our analysis has been carried on eight HapMap individuals (NA18517, NA18507, NA18956, NA19240, NA18555, NA12878, NA19129, NA12156). For each sample, clones with a single best concordant placement (according to the fosmid end-sequence-pair analysis described in Kidd et al., 2008), have been considered. The analysis showed that 541 NumtS (at least 30bp for each one) had been sequenced in such samples. </p> <h2>Credits</h2> <p> These data were provided by Domenico Simone and Marcella Attimonelli at Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology "Ernesto Quagliariello" (University of Bari, Italy). Primer designing was carried out by Francesco Calabrese and Giuseppe Mineccia. PCR validation was carried out by Martin Lang, Domenico Simone and Giuseppe Gasparre. Merging with HapMap annotations has been performed by Domenico Simone. </p>
