The graphics are cute, but the article left me with way more questions than answers. It spent most of its time trying to impress the reader with how much interstate shipping was involved in the process (who cares?). No details on which ingredients are the ones causing so much consternation at the WTO right now, nor any answer to the obvious question "why aren't the DNA plasmids made the same way other commercial plasmid services make them"? But hey, it's the NYTimes. They have to hold the attention of an audience that mostly has no science background.
