I've listed this article for peer review because it is currently rated C Class - as one of the most important and consistently one of the most viewed pages in WikiProject Computational Biology, I feel this article needs to be improved to at least GA status. I'd appreciate any comments on what needs improving to make this happen. Thanks! Amkilpatrick (talk) 19:43, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Csisc edit

First, I have to thank you for your work about the DNA Sequencing. The work is well structured, well done and involves some important details... However, it seems that the work lacks from some adjustments...

Important Works that were used to create DNA Sequencing: As many people know, the works about DNA Sequencing were based in part on the Citation Classics of Lowry who had invented the principles of biological sequencing and used it from proteins... It is quite important to involve such works of reference that helped the invention of DNA Sequencing... Many other papers can be involved and cited in this work. You can even check the references of the first paper of Wu in PNAS talking about DNA Sequencing, the paper of Sanger and the one of Maxam and Gibert for more details about Reference works and principles used to create these important techniques...
Principles of DNA Biology: You had mentioned in the two first parts of the work the use of sequencing and the nucleotides... I think that you should merge the two parts in one common part and expand it in a better way. Include the new nucleotides that had been discovered for bacteria and germs and try to write about the structure of DNA and its organization.
Practice of DNA Sequencing: The work does not show any information about the main first practices of DNA Sequencing... You should include that many trials of DNA Sequencing had been done till now in order to indicate the quality of development of the technique. You can include the reasons for the use of DNA Sequencing and write about its commercialization and trade.
Ethics: You can include the ethical issues that had been raised about DNA Sequencing. The access of this important technique to all people was always controversial.

You can use papers, books, journals and websites as references in doing this work.

Yours Sincerely,

Hi Csisc, thanks for reviewing this article and for your comments - although I can't really take any credit for the article, almost all of the work is by other contributors :) I agree on combining and expanding the first two sections, and some mention of the ethical issue would be interesting as well. It might take a little while to get round to, I will let you know when it's done. Thanks, --Amkilpatrick (talk) 16:48, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Csisc and Amkilpatrick, thank you for your work and comments so far. I agree that some critical details are missing from the article but may already be present in related articles like nucleic acid sequence or a bit from sequence analysis. Combining the first two sections may help but only if they're followed by a well-organized History section. JHCaufield - talk - 15:26, 17 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
