Articles I've worked on
[edit]Some articles I've done major rewriting on:
Genetics - (5/27/07) at the moment the page is almost entirely content I added
- (before - what the page was like before I started)
- 3/13/08 - Good Article
- 3/25/08 - Featured Article
- Sex - (3/31/08) complete rewrite
- DNA replication - (3/5/08) complete rewrite
- Genetic recombination
- Polymerase chain reaction
- Quantification of nucleic acids
- DNA melting - merged two articles, later added info on experimental applications of DNA melting
- Epigenetics
Articles I made:
- PCR optimization - I made this because I wanted to move optimization trivia away from the main PCR article
- Stop codon - Made this page to cover material about amber & ochre mutations and suppressors
- Acacia drepanolobium - The whistling thorn acacia, created the article after reading a cover-story article about it and symbiotic ants in Science.
- Double-flowered - the double flower phenotype, earliest documented floral mutation and popular in many cultivated flowers
Stubs I made:

Images I've made
[edit]Some photos and SVG images I made with Inkscape... feel free to suggest other SVG images I could make!
The chemical structure of DNA
Griffith's experiment illustration
illustration of four PCR cycles
A Punnett square, cross between pea plants heterozygous for purple (B) and white (b) blossoms.
An image of the genetic code, DNA->RNA->protein
K12 E coli colonies on a plate of agar.
Diagram illustrating the Luria-Delbrück experiment, suggested by ragesoss.
Strip of eight PCR tubes with 100μl reactions.
Eukaryotic phylogenetic tree.
Another tree I tried making, currently used in Genetics article
