Reviewer 2 Report

I found interesting to read and check in the original manuscript those critics moved from Pranaba K Nayak to the authors of Samulewski et al.

 

I think that the best for the authors of Samulewski et al., of both articles is to write an errata corrige in witch the authors can correct that results non well reported previously. This effort will made the reserach of Samulewski et al. strong.

The correct of samples analysed is 6 an not 26 as reported 

I have nothing to add
