Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

[edit]
Article title
Epigenetics in Foreign Science
Article Evaluation
Good article, however it is short because epigenetics, especially in the realm of forensic science, hasn't been around for that long. It's interesting to note that methylation markers are often missing from fabricated DNA, and that methylation markers can be indicative of age ad other factors that may be useful in an investigation.
Sources
Most are good, a couple are original research articles rather than review articles, however. Links seem to work.

Option 2

[edit]
Article title
Crossover Value
Article Evaluation
Short stub, needs more resources and information. Surprising that it's so short considering the amount of work on crossing over in reproduction.
Sources
Needs expanding, two sources that are over two decades old and are textbooks rather than peer-reviewed articles.

Option 3

[edit]
Article title
Double minute
Article Evaluation
Short stub- needs some expanding. Also could be grouped under the wikipedia page of a larger topic. Information seems to be fine, and it is concise and well written.
Sources
Sources are dated and need updating. Only 3 sources- 2 from the 1980s and 1 from 2011.
