Is 'big biology' a commercial enterprise?

abstract：BACKGROUND:The function of the non-coding portion of the human genome remains one of the most important questions of our time. Its vast complexity is exemplified by the recent identification of an unusual and notable component of the transcriptome - very long intergenic non-coding RNAs, termed vlincRNAs. RESULTS:Here ...
