# Summary of #hplusroadmap IRC Log (March 3, 2009)

* Kanzure updated a repository of stem cell research papers, adding new content on piggyBac and virus-free induction of pluripotency at http://heybryan.org/books/Biology/stemcells/

* Several microfluidics papers were shared, including research on thermocapillary actuation of droplets using programmable microheater arrays that can create virtual traps, filters, channels, and pumps using Marangoni flows.

* A significant discussion occurred about integrated circuit cooling techniques, including microfluidic channels etched directly onto silicon wafers that allow for 3D chip stacking with effective cooling between layers.

* FuGE (Functional Genomics Experiment Model) was mentioned as a framework for modeling components in genomics investigations, though concerns were raised about its implementation of input/output types as "OntologyTerm."

* A conversation about automatic instruction generation for assembly design was initiated, with Kanzure considering developing his own system based on data structures for representing assemblies.

* PerlMol, a Perl library for computational chemistry and molecular modeling, was briefly mentioned with a link to its documentation.
