Counting molecules.

Reference: http://www.biologynews.net/archives/2011/11/21/a_better_way_to_count_molecules_discovered.html

Summary; Researchers at the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet have figured out a new method for counting molecules. Quantifying the number of different kinds of RNA and DNA molecules is a really daunting task in molecular biology as the molecules stores and transfers the data in the cells. This has improved measuring techniques which are important in understanding normal and cancer cells.

Critique; I really like this article.

Impact; I think in 20 years this will help us in finding a cure for cancer!
