Summary of characteristics of a target article
The goal of this project will be to make a significant contribution to a stub article to transform it into a B or GA quality article. An article of stub quality generally contains little content, is very basic, and needs a lot of work. B class articles are almost at 'good article' quality, but may lack supporting materials to appease a technical audience. Finally, a GA class article is considered to be useful to most readers with no obvious problems, and is considered high quality.

Unit 5 Assignment: Summarizing PubMed Articles
Bacillus subtilis cells form spores in environments where essential nutrients have been depleted. Once sporulation has taken place, the spores can exist in very harsh conditions with little to no nutrients. As a result, B. subtilis sporulation has been problematic in both food and health industries. SporeWeb, a database platform, has been developed to compile known data about the sporulation mechanism. The database is updated as new knowledge becomes available, and should be used as a tool to increase understanding of the B. subtilis sporulation cycle.
