Pretty impressive people....
in the expert network of this bioinformatics company.

But how do they compare to this advisory board?Providing nextRAD genotyping and PacBio sequencing services. http://snpsaurus.com -
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.Comment

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?Comment

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.Comment

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.Providing nextRAD genotyping and PacBio sequencing services. http://snpsaurus.comComment

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

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

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%29Originally posted by HESmith View Post

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!Comment

@SNPsaurus: You've got me there!
Next time I will stop being impressed by the nice pictures and read the text!Comment

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

For me it is linked on the website.Comment

Correct, it seems they included it in their offerings.
Coming back to my initial question: Does anyone have experience with such offers?Comment

Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
