=The 5 Pillars of Wikipedia=

Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia

 * Wikipedia is used like any typical encyclopedia. It is not used for advertising, newspaper articles, or as a directory. Wikipedia is a compilation of information using different cited sources and is not supposed to be used as an instructio manual or dictionary. There are other projects hosted by Wikimedia that do serve those functions though.

Wikipedia has a neutral point of view

 * There should be explanations of different points of view, but written impartially. Support for one or another view is unacceptable although presenting the background and issues related to each side of the debate is acceptable as long as no bias is shown. All information should be referenced too.

Wikipedia is free content

 * Plagiarism is not allowed and copyright laws should be followed. Sources should strive to come from free content although non-free content can be used if necessary. All articles do not have a direct owner and each article can be edited and used by others.

Wikipedians should interact in a respectful and civil manner

 * In general, good ettiquette is required to other Wikipedia members. Assume that all remarks/comments are constructive while responses should be in the same manner. Disagreements may occur, but keep it on the talk page. A dispute resolution process may be used in these cases as well.

Wikipedia does not have firm rules

 * All rules are not made to be strictly followed. They serve to be a platform for the general principles of the Wikipedia community. Rules may change over time and exceptions can always be made. It is okay to be wrong when making edits as previous pages are saved in case they need to be corrected.

=Summary of characteristics of target article=

Stub Article

 * A stub article is essentially a quick, short description of the topic in hand.

B class Article

 * To make this into a B class article, the article should be near flawless. The article should have no big problems or mistakes while maintaining a well written structure, cited sources, and good organization. Inline citations are a must and the general article should be easy to understand for the general public. An area to improve may be that more information may be needed to satisfy serious researchers/students from an expert in the field. Also, certain aspects and styles may need to be altered as well.

GA class article

 * To make this into a GA class article, it should be taken a step above a B class article. The article should be at a neutral viewpoint while addressing all aspects, cited and verified for all information, stable in content and with no "edit wars", and include many pictures to accompany the article. The content should be well written complying with copyrights and the Wikipedia layout and guidelines. In general, the article is near professional and may need just a couple edits by experts to make it into a class higher.

=RNA extraction process=

Summary
An RNA extraction process is followed by Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction to understand expression of RNA. There are many different extraction processes such as by glass fiber filter, silica-gel affinity, and guanidium thiocyanate/phenol/chloroform extraction. The guanidium thiocyanate/phenol/chloroform has shown to produce high yield in RNA extraction with some modifications to the original protocol.
