Lysophophatidic Acid (LPA) is a member of this class of compounds, and its plasma levels have been proposed as a potential biomarker for ovarian cancer [ 16 17 ] . LPA is a family of related molecules with molecular weights in the vicinity of 400 to 600 Daltons, and a variety of LPA species has been reported to be increased in malignant ascites from patients with ovarian cancer as detected by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) [ 18 ] . LPA related species have also been reported to be increased in plasma samples from patients with ovarian cancer using a combination of thin layer chromatography (to isolate an "LPA band" from patient plasma) followed by ESI-MS.
All clinical samples for biomarker analysis were harvested and handled in accordance with full Institutional Review Board-approved protocol, and study participants had signed the study informed consent prior to any study-related procedures.
Importantly the estimated TPR for mammography is not likely to be affected by overdiagnosis, which means that some screening-detected cancers would never have caused medical problems during the patient's life [ 11 ] . This would make the biomarker appear more promising than actually the case.
The earliest biomarker evidence of eukaryotes is at 2.7 Ga [ 11 ] and the earliest fossils appear 2.1 Ga [ 12 ] . The fossil record of cyanobacteria has been argued to extend to 3.5 Ga [ 13 ] but the biomarker evidence at 2.7-2.
We find that the divergence between archaebacteria and the lineage leading to eukaryotes (K A ) was quite early (~4 Ga), which is about the time of the earliest biomarker evidence of life (3.
