Support. Great article. First sentence of the "DNA damage" section: DNA can be damaged many different sorts of mutagens. - Do you mean by many different sorts of mutagens? Why is the image in the lead found next to the table of content? This will make the reader scroll up and down while he reads the lead. Please remove the external link at the first image of the "DNA damage" section, this should be found on the image description page per WP:CAP; same for many other images on the article. External links section needs a cleanup, remove everything designed for children or trivial. Unnecessary bold text at the article's first section, just make these links. The third image caption consist entirely of bold text. Add more information about DNA ligase in the "Nucleases and ligases" section. In "Forensics" section: This process is called using genetic fingerprinting or DNA profiling - Maybe it's called genetic fingerprinting? Some image captions lack periods. Replace all "here" in the article referring to images with "in this example". This is all I could find after a 10-minute glance into the article, good luck!

Typos fixed, bolding removed, links changed into references, external links tidied up, a period added to an image caption. The use of "Here" is to join two sentences together, not to refer to a caption. It is used when the first sentence names a topic and the second one provides details. Expanded DNA ligase section and added refs. TimVickers 23:25, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support, my concerns/questions were resolved on the peer review. Hat's off to Tim for taking on a former featured article, to get it re-promoted! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:50, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
