Which article are you evaluating?
5.8S ribosomal RNA

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I decided to evaluate this article because there have been a number of new studies that have been done on the 5.8S ribosomal RNA which suggests new findings and updated information on the topic. I have also found new detailed information with regard to this topic.

The lead section in this article has all the necessary information one needs. it although does lack small points like the location where this rRNA is found. The synthesis of ribosomal RNA by RNA polymerase I is confined to a particular place in the nucleus called the nucleolus, It is here where the ribosomal RNA precursor undergoes transcription and is then processed into 18S, 5.8S and 28SrRNA. The 5.8S ribosomal RNA is found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells along with the 28S and 5S( Large subunit). The 5.8S rRNA is absent in prokaryotes.

When it comes to weather the article is up to date I feel there is a lot of research that has been done and new information has been discovered. RNA plays a crucial role in the function of the eukaryotic ribosome. Any mutations in the 5.8S rRNA can affect the cell growth and inhibit protein synthesis in vitro. Latest studies also suggest that the function of this sequence is that it plays a role in tRNA binding. The main function is that it plays a role in protein elongation.

This article is in a neutral tone and all the facts stated in this article are backed up by reliable sources. The article is clear and well written. The image attached to this article is visually appealing and adheres to all wiki guidelines. Overall the article had all the basic information needed for a reader to understand the basics and structure S rRNA.
