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

There are sections of the article that say unedited and edited, which are helpful. However, it also says that the entire article had to be re-written due to lack of verifiable sources so are those sections based on verified sources? Also, the profiling section, is that original or unedited?

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

The article had very good sources, and I really liked how an outline of profiling techniques were found at the beginning of the article, not only does it make it easier for them to wrote but it makes it easier for me to review, and for potential readers to find the specific information they are searing for. I also found the structure section of the article very informative, unlike the original article it now has polysome structure broken down into different types, which is much less confusing. For example, I now know the difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic polysomes.

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 really liked the outline of techniques at the beginning of the article, but I was a. bit confused at first while reading them. I would recommend labeling the outline or putting under the profiling section, so it is known what you are discussing. I think this would be an improvement because it puts really valuable information in a place where readers can recognize it, if that’s what they are looking for.

-       In the section where polysomes are introduced, an image or animation might be helpful for readers to visualize a polysome. A visualization of a polysome might help readers better understand profiling techniques.

-       The main aspect that stuck out to me was the structure section, because of the abundance of good information and clarity. That being said, when introducing the structure, it would be helpful to mention that different cells produce different polysome structures then go into how they are visualized. When I first started reading, I was expecting the rest of the section to be about how structure is visualized. (this is the main thing I would change)

-       An example of profiling used in a relevant experiment might also be helpful n the profiling section to show readers what types of things it is used for. (recommended article under #9)

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

I am doing an article on site directed mutagenic, which is a lab technique used to change base pairs during DNA replication. Polysome profiling was interesting to read about because it interferes with translation instead of replication.

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

Yes, all new content is backed up by a reliable source. The decision to restart the article was wise in my opinion. The lack of sources in the original article is cause for concern, and now you can be sure that all the information you have is found from a reliable source.

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

All of the links worked, all but two were written after 2015. However, the 2 that were not still seemed reliable and current enough. The first one, “Translative profiling: methods for genome-scale analysis of mRNA translation” was describing a method for profiling, and unless the method is no longer used today that seems like a reasonable source. The second source written in 2014 was the textbook we use in our class.

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

No errors were found.

'''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 were used

'''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.'''

This article shows a real time application of polysome profiling. The article shows profiling being used to better understand a particular virus. This would be helpful in the wiki article to show readers how profiling is used and why it is important. It also shows what kind of conclusions can come out of profiling and how it can apply to humans.
