Digital Biology Friday: A helpful hint

I began this series last week with a question about a DNA sequence that was published and reported to be one the first beta-lactamases to be found in Streptococcus pneumoniae. Mike has a great post about one of problems with this paper.

I think the data themselves are awfully suspicious.

So, last week I suggested that you, dear readers, go and find out why. I gave you a link to the abstract and a place to get started.

Perhaps that was too hard.

Sigh.

Okay, here's a little more help and another clue.

I highlighted the accession numbers. Post your guesses in the comments.
