Disputed The sentence is present in the cited PMC/Science article, but the source is a multi-author paper (Jonathan E. Pekar, Andrew Magee, Edyth Parker, …, Karthik Gangavarapu, etc.), not a single-author statement by Karthik Gangavarapu alone, so this platform cannot verify it as a single-author quote. The submitted wording also truncates the sentence before it continues with the Hu-1 parenthetical and sampling dates.
