Synthetic biology is heading for the cloud
I like how this summarized the state of the industry, but I feel like "the cloud" angle was a bit forced for a lot of those companies. Most of these companies had nothing to do with the internet / cloud.

I think by cloud he just meant "outsourced services." DNA synthesis definitely has nothing to do with the internet.

Hah, I agree, but when did "cloud" become synonymous with "outsourced services"? That's kind of an abuse of the term :-)
