Sequencing is the new pcr

I was wondering if the domination of high-throughput sequencing in genome science is an anomaly of the times, so I decided to look at the table of contents of old Genome Research issues. What was Genome Research about before the advent of all this sequencing?

Take a look! It was even more dominated by PCR then than it is dominated by HT sequencing now.
