    But how do they compare to this advisory board?

      Also remarkable, indeed.

      I think it depends on project outline and asked question. For software development I would probably favor the latter and for consulting and data interpretation the first.

      Overall, I think it is good that academia starts opening for industry. At least a little.

        Does anyone has experience with these offers? Do these experts really work with the companies, or are they on the websites for marketing purposes only?

          Guys, SNPsaurus is pulling your leg. If you read the text (generic brand video? white space scripting? genome assembly by 'cat'?) and check out the links, you'll see that it's a spoof. The Twitter announcement on April Fool's Day is another clue. And the likelihood of Lior and Manolis collaborating (or Dan and Ewan) is zero.

            Sorry to anyone taking it at face value. I meant no offense... I had enjoyed the Paired End Genomics announcement earlier and it was just something that came to mind with the "heads in circles" website design similarity.

              When you work with us you're nearly guaranteed to result in simultanous publication of over 30 papers in several peer reviewed journals
              What??? I already sent them the $5000 for the triple-peer-review bonus deal. Are you sure it's not for real?

                I'm pretty sure that this publication guarantee is contingent upon membership in a particular consortium...

                  Perhaps the "scripting" word is a giveaway but there is apparently such a thing as "Whitespace" programming language https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whites...ng_language%29

                    Yes, there is. But scripting in a language that's limited to space, tab, and linefeed would be challenging. And debugging would be a nightmare!

                      @SNPsaurus: You've got me there!

                      Next time I will stop being impressed by the nice pictures and read the text!

                        Ooops, just realized that the page is not even linked to the website.

                            Correct, it seems they included it in their offerings.

                            Coming back to my initial question: Does anyone have experience with such offers?

                              Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
                              by SEQadmin2



                              CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

                              Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

                              Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
                              by SEQadmin2


                              Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

                              The systematic characterization of the human proteome has
