Human-readable spam contents: None. The message does not have a plaintext part. But here’s the HTML:


Dear Scientist,

BioProfiling.de provides you free and the most comprehensive analytical toolkit for the interpretation of a gene/protein list.

In one submission your gene/protein list will be analyzed by several tools.

Your gene list will be profiled with respect to almost all available information on gene function and interactions:

  • gene function (Gene Ontology),
  • protein interactions (IntAct)
  • pathway relationships(Reactome, KEGG, BioCarta, Nature Curated Pathways),
  • text mining databases (CCancer&PLIPS),
  • in silico predicted microRNA to gene associations.

To learn more, please visit BioProfiling.de


With Best Regards,
