Talk:Interposon

Hello, I am peer reviewing your article and wanted to insure I am not going to try and pick it apart. structurally your article is setup well. Your citations are properly represented in the article, and the material presented is informative and professionally written. It does appear that there is more being added to the article at the time I am reviewing it. There are only 2 changes I would like to suggest.

The language used for this article is very professional and can be hard to read for someone not use to scientific journals.

I would like to see a little more information in both history and associated uses. (I know this article is still being worked on, I just like knowing more)

Thank you for allowing me to review your article. </nowiki> [[user: brandan2026|talk]] user: BrandanShelley (talk) 07:17, 13 February 2026 (UTC)

Your article looks great! It's well structured and does a good job of delivering the necessary info without being overly complicated. The main complaint I have is with your sourcing. All of the applications you listed come from the same source which just seems a little odd. Adding one or two more would help with the credibility of the article and would definitely help add a few more.--BrenBowhay (talk) 19:44, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

@Jakesalom, Cknowles857, Microbiology1914, and Sophiatlouise: A few suggestions:

1. The most recent edit (two new paragraphs in the "Summary/Conclusion" section) were flagged as written by AI. It kind of looks to me like they were. But even if they weren't, let's just play it safe and remove that edit. The correct way to do that is to go into the edit history and click the "undo" link next to the most recent edit. If you're not sure what I mean by that, ask me for help.
2. I think you should split the "Associated Uses and how they work" into two sections: "Associated Uses" (with the first four paragraphs) and "Mechanism" (with the last paragraph). Then expand the "Mechanism" section a little more. Right now it's not clear whether the interposon is combined with a restriction enzyme in vitro or whether it carries its own restriction enzyme and can be used fully in vivo. The original omega interposon paper does a pretty good job of describing the mechanism.
3. For full points, I like to see the equivalent of one 8–10 paragraph per student in the group working on an article. It looks to me like all of you have made a contribution at that level. So you're good to start working on your final presentation.

Hope that helps! Ninjatacoshell (talk) 17:44, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
