User:Agnihotrin123/Transposable element/Emballou Peer Review

Peer review
This is where you will complete your peer review exercise. Please use the following template to fill out your review

'''1. Is it obvious to you which sections of the article have been revised? Is the new content relevant to the topic?'''

Yes, the new content highlights negative effects of transposons and adds to some already-existing sections

'''2. What does the article do well? Is there anything from your review that impressed you? Any particular information that you found especially informative.'''

I like how you listed the diseases caused by TEs and gave the links to the corresponding wikipedia articles. Also the bulleted format is helpful and easier to read than a big paragraph.

'''3. What overall adjustments do you suggest the author apply to the article? Why would those changes be an improvement? What's the most important thing the author could do to improve the article?'''

I would define what exactly a transposable element is at the beginning. Also you say transposons have existed for thousands of years - do you know how long approximately? I think you organized the "Diseases" section well and if you're also editing the "Applications" sections it would be helpful to re-organize it in a similar way to make the information more straightforward.

'''4. Did you notice anything about the article you reviewed that could be applicable to your own article? Let them know.'''

I like how your formatted the information in bullet points and smaller paragraphs, making it more readable.

5. Is all new content backed up by a reliable source of information?

I couldn’t find the sources in this version.

'''6. Are the sources fairly current (> 2015)? Check a few links. Do they work?'''

Couldn’t find sources.

7. Summarize any typographical/grammatical errors that you found.

In some instances you say “TE’s” and others you say “TEs” to talk about the plural of transposable elements. Also Latin names of species should be in italics.

'''8. Student authors are responsible for all images on their page (even if not part of their revised subsection). Double check the original page to make sure images are acceptable and clearly described. See associated tutorial to review Wiki image requirements. Summarize your findings.'''

No images are in this version of the article.

'''9. Identify at least one additional reference that you think may contribute to the article. Explain why you think this article would benefit from the new information. Be sure to provide the reference in your write-up.'''

Jangam, Diwash, et al. “Transposable Element Domestication As an Adaptation to Evolutionary Conflicts.” Trends in Genetics, Elsevier Current Trends, 24 Aug. 2017, www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0168952517301282.

I think this could be useful because it talks about how TEs could have arisen and their evolutionary role. This could be good background for understanding what TEs are and why they exist.
