The quantum leaps in scientific progress have frequently come from technological innovations, which can be referred to as the technology push. In the life-sciences this has been exemplified by the emergence of all kinds of ‘omics’ technologies reflecting the capacity to analyse complete and complex molecular mixtures in a hypothesis-free approach, also known as ‘fishing expeditions’ by more sceptical fellow scientists.
