QPQ: None required.

Overall: Promoted to GA Mar 26, 2018, nominated Mar 27, 2018. Length is good. Not a prior DYK. All main-text paragraphs cited, though the figures on Microarray and sequencing flow cell and Heatmap identification of gene co-expression patterns across different samples are uncited summaries of the text or another page. Made some minor copyedits. Neutral. Per Earwig's Copyvio Detector, 61.7% violation detected, but this refers to the Lowe R et al article in PLOS Computational Biology that this Wikipedia article was published under. However, per this source, there is a direct-quote copyvio in the lead. The hook (ALT0) is cited, interesting, correct per the source, and <200 characters. No pictures used. No QPQ required, as this is nominator's first DYK nomination. On a personal note, this is a very comprehensive (albeit technical) article, and it was a pleasure to read. My compliments to the authors. ―Biochemistry🙴❤ 09:00, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the checks. I was surprised by the detected copyvio. It turns out it's reverse plagiarism. We used the phrase here in 2016 , whereas the other source first uses it in 2017. T.Shafee(Evo&Evo)^talk 01:14, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Ah, it appears so! Thank you for identifying that error. Now, all that remains is to cite the "Microarray and sequencing flow cell" figure in the article.―Biochemistry🙴❤ 01:31, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Done! T.Shafee(Evo&Evo)^talk 05:36, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Verified! All problems resolved. DYK nom is good to go.―Biochemistry🙴❤ 06:56, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for processing this DYK, and I appreciate the nice words about the Transcriptomics Technologies article. Rohan Lowe (talk) 00:18, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
