The Science Advisory Board is the world's original professional network of life scientists.

Members of the SAB:

  • Connect with other scientists.

  • Find tips, methodologies and procedures from established researchers.

  • Share insights, stories, jokes and even "gripes" in an open environment.

  • Voice opinions on companies and products used in their work.

  • Earn generous rewards for their opinions.

Practicing life science researchers and medical professionals participate in The Science Advisory Board's studies, forums, news articles and social media channels.

  • Alignment editor: Base-By-Base
    Wed, 01 Feb 2012
    Sorry, this is a plug for our tool: Not enough researchers bother to check the results generated by multiple sequence alignments (MSA) tools! None of these tools are perfect, and sometimes they make glaring errors (that get published). The simple fact is that MSAs usually need to be edited. Base-By-Base is a Java (platform independent) … Continue reading »

  • How Scientists Are Using the Social Web
    Sat, 15 Oct 2011
    Is there anyone out there more skeptical than a scientist? The ultimate spectator, the fly on the wall, seen, not heard, the most perfect life scientist notes every aspect of their subject matter, evaluates every angle, and effects nothing. A perfect experiment has absolute “control” over each variable. A perfect biologist enters an environment and … Continue reading »
  • The best programs for Read alignments and SNP calling in human genomes:
    Tue, 13 Sep 2011
    Next generation sequencing technology has already revolutionized the sequencing arena due to its speed, accuracy and reduced cost. Cancer research has seen a surge in number of projects dealing with NGS methods in gene and variant discovery. This however raises an important question:  if NGS methods have already attained the holy grail status?! Well, still … Continue reading »

Story ImageHow two new ambient ionization methods have changed the way, with mass spectrometric analysis now being carried out, outside in the open.
Since 2004 a number of new ‘open air’ sources where introduced that have revolutionized the way that samples are introduced into an ion source for mass spectrometric analysis. This has resulted in the rapid analysis, with no special sample preparation or treatment for a wide variety of samples not suitable or difficult to analyze prior to their introduction...

Story ImageA Perspective On the New Paradigm of Diabetes Management Part 1
Most frequently when diabetes is suspected, it is the conventional wisdom to order a fasting glucose (no food or drink except water after midnight) or hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). In all practicality, 2hPP glucose level or 2hPP glucose level or 2 hour oral glucose tolerance test is more affirmative than fasting glucose or HbA1c in defining diagnosis of diabetes....

Story ImageThe Impact of Genomics in the Understanding of Signal Transduction Pathways
Evidence has highlighted that the alteration of one or more signal transduction pathways is involved in a growing number of human diseases, both degenerative and tumoral. In fact, the “social control” which cells undergo becomes evident when it fails. That is, every human disease might be seen as a “signalling disease”. ...
