Merge proposals[edit]

I'm proposing the merger of the Vertebrate telomerase RNA, Ciliate telomerase RNA and the Telomerase RNA component since these are orthologous RNA genes. As far as I can tell the 'vertebrate telomerase' and 'telomerase RNA component' are referring to the same entity -- the only real difference is that the articles are derived from two different databases (entrez and rfam) that annotate genes. The 'telomerase RNA component' article itself is slightly human-centric otherwise these are the same gene. The 'ciliate telomerase RNA' article is referring to the RNA gene that performs the same function in ciliates.--Paul (talk) 20:00, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think this merger makes sense. --Alvestrand (talk) 07:02, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support. As with the Gene Wiki articles, it makes sense to combine orthologs from different species in the same article since they share high similarity in both seqeuence and function. Boghog (talk) 13:51, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
