Talk:Sequence profiling tool

message: The current article attempts to concisely present the concept of sequence profiling tools in Bioinformatics and their increasing relevance in holding the pyramid of sequence data in genetics/molecular biology. Surprisingly, no single source exists to describe and review such web based tools; the information contained herein is very valuable in providing an overview and their design. The article is not a compilation of the numerous bio-software that specialize in providing focused information or even public portals providing links to valuable databases.
I conceived the article and wrote a stub quite sometime back and have been helped occasionally in formatting and fixing. So, Yes! it’s a self-nomination - a vanity attempt... Though small enough to start with, the definition I provided happened to be the only “web definition” in Google results page whenever one typed ‘What is sequence profiling tool’, making me realize that more intelligent minds were focusing their efforts in defining more important issues. It is then that I thought of making the contribution more comprehensive by clearly outlining the concepts and classifying the —different kinds of sequence profiling tools and an example in each of them. This article is one such attempt.
I am not a wiki expert by any standards in terms of creative formatting, so I might need help in editing to begin with. Meanwhile, I have reasons to believe that the piece I compiled qualifies to be considered as a Wikipedia’s ‘feature article’. I hope the votes confirm this.

thread_title: [[Sequence profiling tool]]

message: I cleaned up some of the wiki syntax and started to retool some of the writing, but I think this topic is just inherently too small/of too limited interest to get through FAC even if it is extensively rewritten. Too much expansion would just make a meta-meta-portal. You might have better luck going through FAC with an expanded version of something like sequence alignment or microarray (or even restoring bioinformatics) if you want a bioinformatics-related featured article. Drop me a note on my talk page if you want to start expanding something like that (which I may do anyway, depending on how motivated I get :). Opabinia regalis 04:53, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  FAC 

message: Nattu, you probably noticed this before, but so any other visitors know - Wikipedia:Scientific peer review itself is a (mostly) inactive project. This article has been submitted for peer review but the reviewers are not necessarily subject matter experts; they tend to make comments on style, grammar, and other writing features as well as content.

thread_title:  Scientific peer review request 

message: In the recent AfD, numerous editors suggested a move to either Bioinformatics software tools or Sequence analysis. What do you think? Strictly speaking, I do not think that the "keyword based profiler" section really fits into what has traditionally been known as sequence analysis. Grouse
:Yes, its not a bad idea to move or merge. The first suggestion of Bioinformatics software tools is a bit tricky, since it could tend to become a directory of known services. The second suggestion of Sequence analysis seems to be fine but slightly misses the point of query profiling/outlining. The core of the article should outline different types of data oultining tools that are capable of analyzing, organizing and presenting the results for a query. This brings me to the keyword based profilers... These are unlike typical search engines. A casual visit to the Entrez will demonstrate the point. For one query the results page returns the hits across all the NCBI databases. So in a single shot, a word like "muscular dystrophy" would be profiled across the NCBI databases. There are other services like this e.g. Bioinformatic Harvester and HPRD. The term 'data profiling/outlining' is key when planning to move/merge.
:So my suggestion would be to merge/move the piece with Bioinformatics data profilers OR Bioinformatics data outlining tools. You may have to be the guide lest I neologize. Opabinia regalis could also be a help in this. What do you say? Nattu 18:01, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

message: :Image:NCBI.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:NCBI.JPG

message: The image :Image:HPRD.JPG is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here.  In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page.  Please check
:* That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
:* That this article is linked to from the image description page.
The following images also have this problem:
