Concerns about article[edit]

A user who is unable to post here due to a block has expressed concerns about this article. I am going to post them here on this talk page for them so that they can be looked at. HighInBC 16:32, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

thank you. There are a number of inaccuracies that are not "backed up" in the article:

  1. i am not the "founder" there are several. Try looking at our actual website persomics.com
  2. quote : and has established a particular phenotypic screening kit that it uses for this purpose." we do not sell kits. this is simply wrong
  3. quote: " Phenotypic screening is therefore a method utilized in perceiving gene expression." this is simply wrong. One can not perceive gene expression and this is not substantiated
  4. quote : " Persomics produces a ready-made experiment kit in which any of these siRNAs can be contained. The kit contains the company’s plates, which can hold approximately 3,000 spots of sub-millimeter-sized siRNAs; these can be specified by the researcher requesting the kit" also untrue and misleading
    1. the spots are not "siRNAs" and anyone who would actually go to the site with a biotech background would think that we are doing something we are simply not, infringing a ton of patents.
    2. we dont sell kits and all this is doing is getting us the wrong kind of legal interest.
  5. quote: "A researcher is therefore able to discern and validate several things: the ways in which genes are regulated" - unsubstantitated and wrong to anyone who knows the field
  6. quote: "3,000 spots of sub-millimeter-sized siRNAs;" - siRNAs are not millimeter sized. this is like saying the earth is a tennis ball sized rock.
  7. Quote : "Applications[edit] There are several multi-target approaches to drug discovery, among them that used by Persomics" we do not do any drug discovery at all. this is just wrong.
  8. Quote: " As with this method, visualizing Persomics’ plates is made possible through the use of fluorescent dyes." - we do not use fluorescent dyes, but protein conjugates and there is a big difference - like the difference between paint and a great painting. Anyone who knows anything here would laugh at this.
  9. Quote: " after many years of research pertaining to cures for infectious diseases at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in Pretoria, South Africa, " this is my research and we did not find cures and anyone who knows the field would find this just ridiculous. We found mechanisms not cures. Cures take a billion dollars and ten years to create.
  10. our industry is not drug discovery, we are a biotech. period. thats like calling ford a wheel manufacturer. just wrong.

My feeling is that you should care more about the accuracy of the article more than anything else. [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Persomics (talkcontribs) 16:29, 17 April 2016‎
