Does this mean you'll be upgrading to an RC10?

Cheers,

Thanks Mario. re RC10. I don't think I'm going to have too much time to use the RC8 for a while, let alone consider an upgrade. Plus, I will have to move closer to work, meaning more light pollution .

Yep, a lot of blood, sweat and tears, but it's been a worthwhile experience.

Curiously, I was just reading this article in the March 2013 edition of the Institute
of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Spectrum Magazine -
http://spectrum.ieee.org/biomedical/...machine-and-me

It gives an account of Jonathan Rothberg where he mentions his son
was born with a breathing problem. Whilst he was pacing in the hospital
waiting room, Rothberg said if only they could sequence his son's genome,
then maybe it would help the doctors understand what the problem was.

Taking two week paternity leave, he sketched out the idea for a new sequencing
machine and those in turn lead him to found "454 Life Sciences", which in
2005 introduced the world's first next generation sequencing machine, which
employs the sequencing by synthesis method.

Rothberg's vision is to make sequencing cheap enough that it will
be available to anyone.

So hopefully down the track, you will be in the best position to be able to
guide your daughter's treatment, but in the meantime, helped a lot of other
people too.

I just hope we don't see too many IIS members pass through your lab for cardio
testing!

Thanks and that was a very interesting read. I agree in that I don't want to see any of you guys in the cath lab having a stent inserted
