This is exciting. Finally, the Tech world seems to be growing beyond social media (ect...) and moving toward developing actually useful businesses! It looks like all that Transcriptic does right now is simply put plasmids together. Hopefully, that will change in the future, and they will offer additional services :-)

Absolutely! We're excited about opening the whole platform up so that the only limitations on what can be done are the physical capabilities of the robots. Cloning is a small piece of the gigantic array of possibilities.

It's interesting how much of the funding infrastructure for this was originally created for relatively inconsequential, share-pictures-of-cats businesses.
