Characteristics of Target Article
In this course, we will be taking a stub article and transforming it to an article of the B or GA article standards. Here is a summary of what those articles are and how we can achieve this:

B article is defined as an article with no major issues, but may require some style and subject experts. It will be a satisfactory article that may require more work to achieve a good article status. A B article may be not be a satisfactory for a researcher with very sophisticated needs.

GA article or good article will be a step above a B article. It will be satisfactory for even sophisticated researchers. This article will require very little maintenance, and that maintenance may only include minor style issues. A GA article won't be as quality as a professional article, but it is on that path.

To write an article of these standards, we will need to follow the Five Pillars. We will need to keep in mind the rules of citing, editing, and article improvement.

Citation Practice
Telomeres In order for human cells to continue growth, the length of telomeres are pertinent. The shorter a telomere is, the more likely a cell will not grow, and will cause chromosomal instability which leads to the onset of cancer. In order to maintain telomere length, cells use telomerase. Telomerase alters the length of the telomeres on the chromosome ends. The method in which telomerase is brought to the telomere ends is by the interaction of the TEL patch on the surface of the telomere protein, TPP1. The TEL patch is simply a group of amino acids. In HeLa cells, when this interaction is disturbed by mutation, telomeres did not extend.
