Deep Sequencing Techniques - Bioscience Applications, Statistical and Computational Practice and Challenges December 13-15, 2010 Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden Personal text To make the system that can produce energy and chemicals by re-generable sources is my main motivation. The construction of that system is the responsibility of our generation. I believe that one of the strategies to reach that goal is in biotechnology, which has reconstructed cells as an efficient system.
