Hi,

I haven't fully formed an opinion yet. The methods in the paper sound
pretty interesting (not to mention the title), and it seems to be well
cited, too. It was also used in a recent paper
<https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29242231> on TA-protein targeting,
which had piqued my interest.

Thanks,
Shyam
