Evaluate the article
This article starts out with a very easy to understand definition of what genome informatics are. The content of the article provides further information on the science behind genome informatics and how it can be used. There does not seem to be any type of bias in this article and it is composed of facts versus opinions. The sources of this article come from a variety of authors and they seem to be reliable sources. The article is fairly short, however it is well organized and reader-friendly. There are not images provided to enhance the understanding of the topic, but I don't know if an image would be necessarily useful for this topic, as the media shown is a strand of DNA. Behind the scenes of this article, on the talk page, there are claims of plagiarism from an editor, and that one of the reference links does not allow a view of the source. I attempted to click this link where it showed that you would need to purchase the book. This article could be improved by being looked into for plagiarism claims, and by adding more information as the article only contains an introduction paragraph and a few sentences on its application.
