Peer review

General info

• Whose work are you reviewing? Vanessa R Garcia

Lead

Guiding questions:

• Has the Lead been updated to reflect the new content added by your peer?
• Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?
• Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?

Content evaluation

One of the references is from a very old study. Possibly check if this article's findings are still accurate or find another study that is more recent.

Anderson P, Roth J (May 1981). "Spontaneous tandem genetic duplications in Salmonella typhimurium arise by unequal recombination between rRNA (rrn) cistrons". Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. 78(5): 3113–7. Bibcode:1981PNAS...78.3113A. doi:10.1073/pnas.78.5.3113. PMC 319510. PMID 6789329.

• Are the sources current?

The "Next generation sequencing" section has no references.

Organization

Guiding questions:

• Is the content added well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read?
• Does the content added have any grammatical or spelling errors?
• Is the content added well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?
