Disagree with suggestion to merge with slipped-strand mispairing
editI am the scientist who coined the term slipped-strand mispairing and wrote (with George Gutman) the seminal paper which has been cited over 2,000 times. Although I have not written the slipped-strand mispairing article, I feel it is an excellent summary in its present form.
I do suggest that slipped-strand mispairing should reference the replication slippage article, which has important recent perspectives.
Both articles are important and have complementary information but each should should stand alone, but cross-reference the other. Gene Levinson PhD Genesmartnoter (talk) 10:26, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
- Support merge, as the complementary information will mutually complement the information current separated; and as there is significant duplication; and as there is no evidence that these are distinct concepts. Perhaps replication slippage could be viewed as a process which leads to slipped strand mispairing, but this isn't a reason to keep them separate. By WP:NOT#DICTIONARY we don't need a separate page to define each individual term used to describe the same or similar topic. Klbrain (talk) 16:48, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
