First paragraph (this article has no abstract)

Down-scaling, parallelization and automation are new trends in the field of recombinant protein expression in the post genomic era [1-3]. During the past years many companies and academic institutions have heavily invested in process and automation technologies. Does this trend keep its promise? Can post genomic protein production issues be overcome with few automated processes?
