To do list

 * Genetics
 * Transcription - general grammar/clarity corrections.
 * Replisome - general reshuffle, improve definition and add recent findings by Lovett 2007 such as presence of a third DNA pol.
 * RNA activation - keep up-to-date, add details of controversy and suggest reshuffle to start article with information on RNAa, referring to RNAi later.
 * Edman degradation - try to make article more lay-accessible (pretty difficult to understand as it is).
 * Subgenomic mRNA - make clear that replication is always 5'-3' and more clearly define "jumping" of DNA polymerase.
 * DNA repair - add info on novel plant DNA repair mechanisms/characteristics.
 * DNA sequencing discussion - awaiting reply on subject


 * Immunology
 * Somatic hypermutation - general clearup of Mechanism section, get more appropriate images, link to affinity maturation in article, remove See also section. Also check with User:WhatamIdoing whether it should actually be a mid-importance article according to the guidelines here.


 * Evolution
 * Domestication - improve referencing throughout, expand Background section, add info on domestication genes...


 * Cell Biology
 * Secretory pathway - general rewrite, see proposed article outline in talk.
 * ER retention - general rewrite and add details of possible models of retention (e.g. of HDEL ligands).
 * Golgi apparatus - add brief mention of what the combined model suggests and mention of requirement for recycling in retrograde transport.
 * TRAPP complex - suggest rewrite as, whilst easily understood, most of article is background to vesicle transport, not the TRAPP complex!
 * Nucleolus - needs a cleanup.
 * Cell nucleus - several novel plant subnuclear organelles exist which aren't even referred to (doi:10.1016/j.pbi.2004.09.011).


 * Plants
 * Florigen - expand and clarify details of recent findings.
 * ABC model - add mention of requirement of SEP (Im) genes and add problems section.
 * Secondary cell wall - expand article to include more detailed info on structure, properties, found in which cells, etc.


 * Animals
 * Platypus - suggest more indepth look at Warren et al. and subsequent findings on Platypus genome.
 * Monotremes - sequencing no longer "imminent" and mention importance of findings regarding phylogenetic placement of monotremes.


 * Viruses
 * Viroporin - create page (see virus notes: L3->Viroproteins).
 * M2 protein - add references and association with apoptopic induction (see virus notes: L3->Viroproteins->M2 protein).
 * Antibody dependent enhancement - make more accessible.

For draft versions of pages I'm working on, see my draft sandbox subpage (currently working on DNA Ligase).

Significant contributions

 * Florigen (ongoing)
