Organizing a topic

Hi Southgatea, my advice for organizing the article "Gene mapping" would be to look at high quality articles in Genetics, particularly our Good or Featured Articles. Featured Articles are here while Good Articles are here. I would look at the table of contents of these high-quality articles. How are the articles organized? Articles like Genetic engineering and Genome-wide association study begin with sections such as "overview" or "background"; several articles then have a section entitled "history", perhaps one called "methods" or "processes"...

It might also be helpful to look at external overviews of the topic, such as a textbook. What is the flow of information presented there? I think once you determine what the layout of the article should be, that will help you fill in the rest of it. Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:41, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
