UB, completely agree. This move to Texas A&M signals that they know, have high certainty, or have received NIH/NSF funding. Again, it is no coincidence that they are moving to the "Operation Warp Speed" biotech hotbed to a bigger lab without some help from the FedGov. IMO, funding news will be coming in early Dec., right after the move.
Science isn't subjective - it either works or it doesn't. Clone3/ITV1 work, the writing is on the wall.
Again, just my .02
