Skimming through the paper ( http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0013181 http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjourna... ), I don't know that the mass spectrometry they did really required a military-academia connection, as the article seems to imply. While the machines certainly aren't everywhere, I would imagine that there are quite a few in the hands of researchers who aren't paid by the DoD.
- jacquesm 16y agoThis bit might have something to do with that: > using a new software system developed by the military for analyzing proteins and in the paper: > with data processing and statistical analysis by the US Army Night Vision Laboratory So while not strictly speaking necessary (because knowledge can be transferred) the mass-spectrometers are not the whole story here.
