finally: transitor-mounted gel sequencing coverage
A decent introductory section on why we, as humans would want to discover the unabiding sense of yearning and frustration in the vast technological wasteland. However I was hoping more light would be shed on the recent developments in transistor-mounted gel sequencing (but was happy to see it covered) and the philiosphical battle brewing within the seismological community regarding "drill-to-fill" technology. However, I did find the discussion of human tissue coalesence quite informative and enjoyed the many charts and diagrams. Good work.
