I did so many JSTOR searches from Wikipedia banner links for this that it made me do a Captcha to get my last source.

Option 1: Subtelomere
Molecular Biology
 * Article Evaluation Find a Wikipedia “Project” that the topic belongs to
 * Article Evaluation Find a Wikipedia “Project” that the topic belongs to
 * From the projects assessment table, provide:

Quality rating: C Importance rating: Marked low-priority by the Genetics Task Force
 * From the “Articles -> Available articles -> Find articles” page of our WikiEdu dashboard, provide:

Completeness score: 69 Average views per day: 6
 * 1-3 sentences about how you think the topic/article can be improved. What is lacking about the topic currently (e.g., inadequate citation of sources, incomplete or inaccurate descriptions, poorly written, etc.).

The article is flagged for inadequate sources and has a very small intro paragraph. The section on subtelomere analysis is very small (one sentence), cites no sources, and could be improved with more bioinformatics information. The pathology section is short and contains no mentions of epilepsy, and I found research discussing a case study where epilepsy may have been caused by subtelomere deletion (the pathology section also still uses the term “mental retardation,” which I’m not sure is the accepted medical term anymore). The “Variations” section is small, but there seems to be plenty of research into subtelomere variation that could be used to add to it. I do realize the pathology section gets into some controversial topics (a few genetic disorders are listed under “Controversial Topics”, so I can focus on just the variations and analysis sections if needed)

Option 3: Consensus Sequence

 * Article Evaluation
 * Project: Molecular Biology
 * Quality: Start-Class
 * Importance: The Genetics, Molecular & Cell Biology, and Computational Biology task forces have all marked it as High-importance
 * Completeness: 36
 * Views per day: 63
 * This article is classified as start-class and is fairly short for such an important topic. It only cites three sources. The talk page history shows that most of the previous work has been to make the article less technical and more readable. The software section is small and basically just names two types of software - I could look into those and write brief explanations of how they work. Also, one of those softwares is a red link so another project option would be for me to create the JalView article.
