Draft needs attention
I created the draft Draft:Chromosome scaffold some time ago, I think it deserves the attention of this WikiProject since it's been a while and nobody has reviewed it yet. Any input is greatly appreciated! —Snoteleks 🦠 10:32, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
Credibility bot
As this is a highly active WikiProject, I would like to introduce you to Credibility bot. This is a bot that makes it easier to track source usage across articles through automated reports and alerts. We piloted this approach at Wikipedia:Vaccine safety and we want to offer it to any subject area or domain. We need your support to demonstrate demand for this toolkit. If you have a desire for this functionality, or would like to leave other feedback, please endorse the tool or comment at WP:CREDBOT. Thanks! Harej (talk) 18:05, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
Articles for deletion/LeDock - molecular docking software designed for docking ligands with protein targets.
FYI, please see
It's molecular docking software designed for docking ligands with protein targets.
Please add your input as to what we should do with this article. Thanks,

Expanding the list of human protein-coding genes
So, just for context, an AFD for a similar list on Draft:List of proteins in the human body recently closed and there was some discussion in expanding my bot's algorithm, which generates the current complete list of human protein coding genes, to include more useful data from gene/protein databases on the human gene and/or canonical encoded protein(s). Since the list is entirely within the scope of this Wikiproject and since I'd need support from other editors to gain approval for changes to the list, I was wondering what others thought about adding information like this to expand the lists.
More context can be found here: User talk:Boghog#HGNC-UNIPROT ID pairs in the HGNC database and Wikidata.

Article redlinks at Index of molecular biology articles
Greetings, Wondering if an expert could help clear/resolve a number of redlink-articles at this index? Way beyond me, and I do not want to just remove a link if there may be another article instead. Regards, JoeNMLC (talk) 15:36, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
FAR for Proteasome
I have nominated Proteasome for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" in regards to the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Z1720 (talk) 21:26, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
Requested move at Talk:Polyunsaturated fatty acid#Requested move 31 August 2023
There is a requested move discussion at Talk:Polyunsaturated fatty acid#Requested move 31 August 2023 that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. —usernamekiran (talk) 03:35, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
I've noticed a lot of protein articles have redirects from the gene symbol, for example CTNNA1, which usually don't have any rcats, as well as redirects from the gene symbol with "(gene)" at the end, like CTNNA1 (gene), which usually includes the {{R from gene symbol}} rcat. It seems to me, that unless disambiguation is required, the versions with just the gene symbol should have the gene symbol template, and all the ones with the qualifier should instead be tagged as {{R from unnecessary disambiguation}} and {{R from avoided double redirect}} of the actual gene symbol. Any idea why the versions with "(gene)" at the end exist, and are categorized the way they are? Any opposition to fixing them as I suggest above as I come across them?

An editor has started an RfC about whether the announcement by the FBI and the U.S. Department of Energy that they support the COVID-19 lab leak theory should be in the lede of the COVID-19 lab leak theory article. Editors are invited to contribute. TarnishedPathtalk 01:51, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
Request for Article Improvement : Common symbiosis signaling
Recently I have created an article on common symbiosis signaling pathway. It is just an initial version and needs a lot of improvement.
This article needs following improvements.
- 1. I have added some representational images. Need better quality images.
- 2. Needs to be scrutinized by more knowledgeable people in this specific topic, to check if there are any technical mistakes or wrong informations, and subsequently correcting them.
- 3. Needs to be add some sections in plain language to make the topic more sense to non-technical readers.
- 4. Needs a lot of minor edits regarding spelling, formatting, (italics, capitalization etc.) in context of scientific conventions.
- 5. If you or your institute is a part of research that is connected to Arbuscular mycorrhiza, Myc-factors, Symbiosis genes etc; then please feel free to enrich this article with photo and data files such as confocal fluorescence photomicrographs, calcium wave electrophysiology data, protein models, etc.
