The Five Pillars
First pillar Wikipedia is an ever changing encyclopedia

Second pillar Wikipedia is the grey of the world

Third pillar Wikipedia owns everything you do and you own nothing

Fourth pillar Use common sense and be polite

Fifth pillar Wikipedia does not want to be liable for misinformation and bends the rules as needed to still be polite, but bold.Ssumpf (talk) 06:37, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Summary of characteristics of target article
A B level article is more detailed than a C level article. It would be pretty well developed with captions, not short on references and citations, but not as complete as a GA article.

A GA “good article” is approaching a quality article and has a lot of different sections, citations of important facts, including plenty of charts and pictures, and may even have over 120-175 references. They take a longer time to make than B articles. They are well written, verifiable, neutral, broad, and relatively stable. A "good article" follows style guidelines and stays focused on the topic.

ENCODE (the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements) which provides information on SNP's (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms) which helps shed light on the genetics of nicotine addiction as well as other biochemical markers in the genome. Rats are an animal model for behavioral testing and are used frequently in addiction research. Genetic factors associated with nicotine addiction in adolescent rat strains have been identified with Chilibot, a literature mining tool. 15 genes were found in AcbS of the mesolimbic system, associating motivated behaviors with cigarette smoking.
