As well as saving energy in large facilities, the more efficient and low-maintenance design could be very useful for smaller scale systems in off-grid areas, and could be run off of portable generators or solar power.
It is more likely that these indications will be useful for smaller scale studies in which researchers can record the sequence of student-written work.
Upon his return to Canada, he started creating radio scripts designed to be useful for small-scale farmers in developing countries.
However, the method also proved to be useful for small-scale platforms such as 96 well plate-based Q-PCRs as shown above, and probably for small-scale targeted microarrays.
This picogram-scale protocol should be broadly useful not only for small scale ChIP experiments, but for any high throughput sequencing experiment where material or yields are limiting and multiplexed sample analysis is desired.
To date, dPCR could be potential useful for clinical diagnostic purpose only for small scale samples but we believe that, during the next years, the improvement of the methodology could permit multiplexing analysis.
Ammonia is a potential hydrogen source for a number of fuel cell applications for small scale power generation useful for portable equipments.
Exporting for small scale forestry enterprises.
Protein engineering can also be very useful at the small scale, for instance creating enzymatic building blocks that are not affected by the end-product inhibition that is usually seen in natural enzymes.
The data stored in [X]uniqMAP can be retrieved via a user-friendly web interface or as downloadable FASTA files, and it should be useful for small- as well as large-scale projects for which the identification of unique DNA regions is required.
The Gibbs implementation of CSI and Gibbs implementation of hCSI unfortunately inherit these same scaling issues, making them useful for small systems of genes, but less so for much larger systems.
