Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Sequence database
 * What is written in the article is accurate, cited, and is related to the to the topic. The article is missing a lot of details, which could be added. More could be added to the history and issues that occur for the sequence databases as they are a bit light. The article could also use more sections covering more topics about sequencing databases, maybe covering the sharing of data as well as the increase of data over the past few decades. The lead also mentions a few things that were not mentioned again in the article, such as, the exponential growth of data in the sequence databases.

Option 2

 * Sequence Read Archive
 * The article for this topic is accurate, well cited, and is all about information on the archive. However, the article is basically one giant detailed lead with out much structure. Restructuring the article alone would do a lot to improve the article. Adding more information, such as the growth of the archive, would also be helpful when restructuring the article into different sections. Although the article is well cited, the citations appear to be old. The most recent citation was 8 years old. Updating the information will also improve the article.

Option 3

 * SNP array
 * The article is well written, well cited, and contains information about the article. One way to improve this article would be to reorganise the structure of the article. There is lots of information in the application section that could be broken down. A few different methods of SNP array are mentioned in the application, and it might be better to add a different section briefly covering these methods. It might be better to also have a methods section that covers the principles slightly more in detail. This article could also do with an update of information as there has only been one update in the past six years. Updating something like the SNP array applications would be helpful
