Motivation: "I regret to inform you that the PNAS Editorial Board has declined your manuscript for further consideration. We receive many more good papers than we can publish and the Board must carefully weigh which papers merit external review. The expert who served as editor concluded that although this work is interesting, it does not have the broad appeal needed for PNAS and is better suited for a more specialized journal.

Thank you for submitting your manuscript to PNAS. I am sorry we cannot be more encouraging this time, and I hope you will consider submitting future work to PNAS"
