Talk:Cell cycle

message: Does it describe Eukaryotic cells or all cells ?
Do all cells folow this cycle or are there some exceptions ?

replies: text: Yes. Mitosis is only one small part of the cell cycle. There is more than enough information about mitosis to justify its having its own entry, but it should not be combined with cell cycle. ~mdash; Brim 17:38, Nov 27, 2004 (UTC)
I think this topic would deserve some additional, more detailed information. (exeact transitions, checkpoints, cyclins, CDK's and CKI's in detail etc.) I would be glad to add some more information, regarding the importance of the subject (in cancer research, for example), but as I am only a  I could use no other source of knowledge but my textbooks, so I would be happy to have an expert look through my work every once in a while.
Additionally, I fear that stacking up the article with scientific info would make the whole article frightening and overwhelming for non-professionals. What would you recommend in order to avoid that? Would having separate sections in the article after the current one as an introduction be sufficient, or would it be better to add a new article "Cell cycle in detail", or just have a number of new pages linked into the main page (eg. "Replication initiation mechanisms")? What would be the general Wikipedia practice in such cases? AttishOculus 22:19, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Article's quality

message: The current illustration of the cell cycle should be removed or replaced in my opinion. It would almost have been ok if all the phases seemed to have equal duration. But in this illustration S phase is actually smaller than the G2 phase!

replies: text: I removed the diagram in question because of several patent falsehoods in addition to those already mentioned: i.e., Cyclin-B complexes with CDK1 to resolve the G2-to-M checkpoint.  In the diagram, CyclinE/CDK2 is depicted in that role, which is not the case. The Cyclin-E/CDK2 complex actually resolves the G1-to-S checkpoint, which leads to another inaccuracy in the diagram: Cyclin-A/CDK2 do not resolve G1-to-S, as shown, but rather the S-to-G2 checkpoint. Because of this, I removed the diagram from the page, as it is too misleading to be useful.

thread_title: Cell Cycle Regulation Diagram Removed

thread_title:  embryology 

message: As far as I know M phase=Mitosis+Cytokinesis, but there is no article on M phase, only on Mitosis, and in the picture: , I think, M phase is denoted by letter "M" and not Mitosis, as there are four phases: G1, S, G2 and M (+G0). Should the text below the picture be changed?

message: I can make a fairly good diagram, but I am not an exepert on cellulear procesess, so e-mail me with even a napkin drawing of the correct process and I'll "pimp it out". thanks

thread_title:  About the diagram 

message: I have done some minor expansion and copy-editing and fixed some formatting issues. I will be adding some references in the coming one or two days. Please comment here if there are any errors or omissions. Also, I think it would be better if we do away with the Observation and Research Groups sections. Also, Regulation of cell cycle can be greatly expanded. Or can be made into a totally separate article. Any comments? - TwoOars 10:46, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Copyedit and minor expansion 

message: Added a few references. Am removing the "refs needed" tag. I do not know how to add inline refs though, for the rest of the stuff - I mean the basic stuff about the phases, which is found in any basic textbook. Am assuming inline refs are not needed in such cases. - TwoOars 19:23, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've added a "citation needed" tag to the claim, in the section on S phase, that transcription and translation are low during S phase. Does anybody know if this is perhaps organism specific? In any case, I found no reference for it, and it doesn't actually make a lot of sense considering the length of the S phase in (for example) mammalian cells and the fact that cells grow continuously through S phase. Also, this phenomenon isn't mentioned in the article on the S phase. 155.198.165.46 (talk) 14:23, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  The template 

message: The Yellow "M" should not refer to Metaphase but to mitosis again. The counterpart of interphase is not the metaphase but the mitosis which include prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Vardos (talk • contribs)

thread_title:  Another problem with the diagram 

message: The term Cell Cycle can apply to both prokaryotes and eukarotes, but the article focuses entirely on eukaryotes. In my opinion the article can be strengthened with an additional prokaryote section....or at the minimum, include some sort of reference to prokaryotes. --Naturespace (talk) 04:56, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  '''cell cycle''' 

message: I've always hated the term "resting phase."  The cell is performing all of it's functions except those related to dividing, should we really refer to it as the "resting phase?"  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.221.247.194 (talk) 12:15, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  '''quinescent phase''' 

message: I altered one of the cell cycle diagrams to better reflect the duration of each phase of the cycle (reference) but I don’t know much about editing (or if the duration of mitosis was exaggerated for a good reason for that matter). Anyway… here it is. --Histidine (talk) 11:16, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Your modifications to the diagram look reasonable and I would support replacing the original with this modified version.  There is one minor problem however.  The original is in the preferred svg format while the modified version is png.  Would it be possible to produce a modified version in svg format? Boghog (talk) 13:17, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I just tried to upload an svg version and, long story short, it did not go well the first two times (I am sorry about making a mess). It is still rendering differently then it should be, but this is the best I could do. Maybe I'll learn how to make a better one later. --Histidine (talk) 09:10, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks.  Your svg version looks OK to me.  The font is not as quite as clean, on the other hand I like the larger font size which makes the thumb nail depiction more legible.  I think it is good enough replace the current version in the article.  Cheers.  Boghog (talk) 11:21, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, the font is one of the things that came out differently once I uploaded it. I read it is a bug with using Inkscape, so I might try to sort that out at some point. --Histidine (talk) 20:27, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I think I figured out all my bugs with uploading. If no one opposes I will replace the one in the article. --Histidine (talk) 02:06, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Diagram?

message: The overall quality of the article is still lacking significant detail and in depth information. Different phases seem to be short and may need more information, for example S phase does not really elaborate much on its purpose.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nvarade (talk • contribs) 02:32, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
