      <image:caption>Top panel: Four scenarios for future global PV installation, ranging from 10 TW to 100 TW. Historical data for annual installation (green bars) and cumulative PV capacity (solid green line through data points); the four scenarios for future annual PV installation (dotted lines) and future cumulative capacity (solid lines) are each consistent with historical data. Additionally, the installation forecast from the BNEF Q1 2025 Market Outlook is shown as open boxes with dashed black outline, and the resulting cumulative forecast shown as open black circles. The scenarios are not quantitatively fit to the historical data. Bottom panel: The annual percentage increase in installed PV for the same four scenarios plotted in comparison to historical percentage increases. The percentage increase implicit in the BNEF Q1 202t installation forecast out to 2035 is shown as open black circles (Source: BloombergNEF, Planetary Technologies).</image:caption>

      <image:title>synthesis - DNA Synthesis and Sequencing Costs and Productivity for 2025 - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>The price per base of DNA sequencing and synthesis — reading and writing DNA — based on price surveys and industry interviews. Until recently, most synthetic genes (the red line) were assembled from short oligonucleotides (oligos) synthesized in large volumes on columns (pink line). Now genes can be readily assembled from oligos synthesized in very small volumes on arrays, though data on the usage and price of array oligos is difficult to pin down; prices for array oligos are asserted to fall in the range from $.00001 to $.001 per base.</image:caption>

      <image:title>synthesis - DNA Synthesis and Sequencing Costs and Productivity for 2025 - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>The productivity of DNA synthesis and sequencing, measured as bases per person per day, using commercially available instruments, and compared to Moore's Law, which is a proxy for IT productivity. Productivity in sequencing DNA has increased much faster than Moore's Law in recent years. Productivity in synthesizing DNA must certainly have increased substantially for privately developed and assembled synthesizers, but no new synthesis instruments, and no relevant performance figures, have been released since 2008.</image:caption>
