Don't get me wrong, Google does lots of great research across a variety of fields. And I'm neither a biologist nor a quantum physicist, so I can't claim to know exactly how important either MSR or Google's research is in those fields, but my distinct impression is that Microsoft is investing more and doing more in each of them (again, see the Aaronson post for the take of one person familiar with the state of quantum physics research). And not that it's especially important, but for the at least the first paper you cite it doesn't look like any of the research was actually done at Google.
