Polymerase
The writing of this article is not as clear as it could be. It also appears to lack citations entirely so while it does not have original research, the article is not verifiable. The writing is neutral and has a picture of Taq polymerase but be more broad. Perhaps there could be mention of how polymerase activity can be modulated? 1. http://books.google.com/books?id=8JTkGVC0UjkC&pg=PA39&dq=polymerase+taq&hl=en&sa=X&ei=KHEuUdXgGrOFyQHJyoDwAw&ved=0CDMQ6wEwAg#v=onepage&q=polymerase%20taq&f=false 2. http://books.google.com/books?id=eoAKJpqcRFYC&pg=PA72&dq=polymerase+taq&hl=en&sa=X&ei=KHEuUdXgGrOFyQHJyoDwAw&ved=0CDgQ6wEwAw#v=onepage&q=polymerase%20taq&f=false 3. http://books.google.com/books?id=Ju8XeJL9Fc4C&pg=PA157&dq=polymerase+taq&hl=en&sa=X&ei=KHEuUdXgGrOFyQHJyoDwAw&ved=0CDwQ6wEwBA#v=onepage&q=polymerase%20taq&f=false

Enhancer (genetics)
This article lacks several citations but appears to be written in a neutral manner and does not appear to have copyright violations. The article is also quite broad with its discussion of examples in the human genome and developmental evolution. 1. http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v471/n7337/abs/nature09774.html 2. http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v471/n7337/abs/nature09774.html

Unit 6 - Pick an Article
Hi Jen,

In addition to the four articles we've looked at, I think a great choice could be the Lysogenic cycle. Under the Talk Page, it is rated as "high importance" for both the WikiProject Viruses and the WikiProject Molecular and Cell Biology. There is also a plethora of information available in chapter 16 of our textbook and online. What do you think?

Best,

 * I am good with doing the lysogenic cycle. It is an important topic and I think there are many ways that this page could be improved upon.Jbmcgregor (talk) 01:21, 6 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Great - I "claimed" the lysogenic cycle for us on the class table. Now we just need to include an article selection rationale on our group page. Bmesido1 (talk) 02:58, 6 March 2013 (UTC) Article selection rationale should be 300 words - I'll get us started. Bmesido1 (talk) 20:08, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
