Gene mapping

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose to evaluate this article about gene mapping because this technique is extremely important in the world of molecular genetics. Gene mapping is important because it allows scientists to determine the locus of the gene which is a crucial first step in understanding the genome of whatever you are testing. My first impression of this article was that there was very good information contained within it, but it could be formatted a little better.

The introduction to this article did a good job of providing a basic understanding of what gene mapping is and what the results of the gene mapping show. One thing that the introduction did not discuss, but was discussed later in the article, was the purpose of gene mapping. The purpose of the technique should be discussed in the introduction, not the last topic to be discussed. The content was up to date as the article was updated on June 18th of 2022. The content discussed throughout this article was accurate and relevant to the topic of Gene mapping. The biggest issue of this article was the organization of sub-topics. The various topics discussed throughout the article contained a lot of information, but the organization made it very difficult to read through all their content. Overall this article was informative on the topic of Gene mapping, but a better organization of the content would've helped deliver the information more effectively.
