This will be useful, but similar to hype machine behind react or node.js, molecular biology is jerked around by new technologies that confer unclear value over existing approaches.

In this case, it’s single cell rna seq. I’d argue we never got very far with bulk measurement RNA analysis because it’s not a functional technique, rather than us not having single cell resolution.

Look at the nobel prizes. So many of them have simple genetics or biochemistry at their core. It’s because those experiments were functional.

And before you tell me we haven’t yet had enough time for gene expression studies to deliver a nobel prize, I’d say well it’s been almost 25 years. Yamanka 4 factors is less than 10. CRISPR, also less than 10 should come soon too.
