DNA[edit]

DNA is arguably the most famous molecule and requires a comprehensive article. This page has been extensively re-written and referenced and will be submitted to FA once the peer-review process has brought it to the required level. Both editing and suggestions on content and format are welcome. Thank you. TimVickers 04:46, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A DNA and medicine section would be nice. --WS 16:54, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think DNA is used a lot in medicine. I can think of DNA vaccines, but not much else. Perhaps that would fir better in the genetics article? TimVickers 18:49, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Frustrated that "^ Colin Pitchfork - first murder conviction on DNA evidence also clears the prime suspect Forensic Science Service Accessed 23 Dec 2006" doesn't seem to provide a publication date on the news - are you able to find one anywhere? ~~Also, External links seems a bit long - are they all necessary?~~ Sandy (Talk) 17:03, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pruned some links.

- Cleaned up by WS. Per WP:MOS, WP:MSH, is it always necessary to repeat "DNA" in the section headings? For example, can "Location and organisation of DNA in cells" be "Location and organisation in cells"? Can "Use of DNA in technology and industry" be "Use in technology and industry"? Some of the Further reading sources could use attention (ISBNs etc.) Sandy (Talk) 17:40, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reworded some of the sections, as suggested.

- Size check: Overall 71KB, readable prose size, 39KB. Sandy (Talk) 17:43, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Shrank it to 69kb total. Thank you Sandy. TimVickers 18:49, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
