Neurogenomics
I've listed this article for peer review because it is an important sub-field of neuroscience and we would like to make sure that all the key areas of research and interest in the field have been covered in this article. Neurogenomics is also extremely relevant to differential diagnosis and network analysis of several psychiatric disorders, and peer review will assist in making this article as authentic as possible.

Hey there, I can't offer much in terms of authenticity but I can help you develop this article in terms of our guidelines/MOS and make it accessible to our layperson readers.
 * Comments by Ugog Nizdast
 * Lead
 * Consider adding some WP:CONTEXTLINK to the lead intro statement.
 * WP:LEAD sections should summarise content of the rest of the article, preferably giving weight to each major section of the article. Typically, since they don't mention anything new, they don't require inline citations.
 * WP:LEADLENGTH, given the length of this article, it should be at least three-four paras.
 * Consider linking difficult terms at first instance. For instance, "first reported the association of genome-wide brain gene expression profiling (using microarrays) with a behavioural phenotype in mice". The marked areas need links so that someone like me may understand it. Do the same everywhere else.
 * Curious, why is there no History section? Ugog Nizdast (talk) 05:47, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

Let me know if I should continue, Ugog Nizdast (talk) 05:47, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

The article is well-written on the whole, but the numerous subsections make it difficult to follow.
 * Comments by M. A. Broussard
 * "Research developmental models" - this is a very long section. Could be cut down.
 * There are some sections that should be shortened and wikilink to the main article under the header:
 * Neuropharmacology
 * "Evolution of the mammalian brain" -- there are a number of articles that might be linked, including: Evolutionary neuroscience, Encephalization, and Evolution of the brain.
 * Some sections, like Network Analysis, may not be necessary. The technique is described in Network theory, and could be wikilinked. It is unclear why this section is separate from "Network level expression differences between species".

I agree with Ugog that the introduction should be lengthened and made to summarize the article better. I'd like to see the remainder of the article shortened, cleaned up and linked to related articles. It is on the right path toward a GA. M. A. Broussard (talk) 03:21, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
