Talk:CH391L/S14/Spinach RNA

--Dennis Mishler (talk) 08:06, 4 March 2014 (CST) Drew, figures need citations and legends. The formatting looks a bit odd for them.
 * --drewtack (talk) 12:18, 4 March 2014 (CST)Yeah Dennis, I meant to ask you about that, I couldn't get the figure boxes or captions to show up. I figured it out, the images were not marked as thumbs, which is essential for the captions to appear.
 * --Mindy (talk) 21:05, 6 March 2014 (CST) Hey great job on thoroughness, the only suggestion I would have is to use bold or links to pages to highlight key terms. This might break up paragraphs and enable the reader to pick out the most important parts. Other than that, the reference section had nice succinct descriptors, and overall it seemed to adequately cover the material. :)

--Chen-Hsun Tsai (talk) 08:15, 7 March 2014 (CST) I think the overall content is good. Also, there are some figures in you presentation that are really helpful to understand the mechanism of spinach RNA, so it will be great if you can put them here.


 * --Jorge Vazquez (talk) 09:16, 14 March 2014 (CDT)Great job! I think is a very solid wiki article since by reading it any new incomer will understand the topic and will be able to tell in general what the spinach RNA is. A few very small feedback comments: it is not clear from the introduction that the spinach RNA is a synthetic construct, also it is not clear where in the transcript is located (5' UTR, 3' UTR, is itself a independent non-coding transcript?).

--Liz (talk) 10:52, 14 March 2014 (CDT)Nice page! Is there any significance to the name spinach/how did they pick that (either in intro or where you describe selection of aptamer)? Just something I was wondering. Like Dennis said, some figures still need citations. Also I think you have some typos where you describe EGFP. How/why did they choose the DMHBI for the SELEX? Interesting that they went from methoxy substituent to a fluorine... I don't know/remember too much about how these are designed- is there a rational basis why an EWG might have greater fluorescence than an electron donor? Could be a nice detail. (Comparative Technologies- or maybe Comparable Technologies?). Good work!
