Was this the same paper that established the genetic code was degenerate (not a one-to-one mapping of codons to amino acids)? I don't have a library handy. 69.254.70.84 03:19, 19 July 2007 (UTC)Somejane, not logged in

This article needs a better title to make it's importance clear to non-experts — Preceding unsigned comment added by ThokozileA (talk • contribs) 06:44, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

More Information and Organization Needed

I think that this article would benefit from being reorganized. I might divide the information into different sections (importance, the experiment, etc.). There are also lots of improvements that could be made content-wise. More citations are needed, and the experiment itself is cited in this article, which (I may be incorrect) I believe to be bad practice. Overall, this article reads more like a direct summary of the original scientific paper, and does not provide any new information on how the study has been influential in modern research.

I plan to organize the article into separate sections, and add more sources. I will use a review article by Charles Yanofsky on the experiment as a starting point, as well as other articles that have built off of this experiment.

I am working on this article for a class, and I would appreciate any suggestions!

Does anyone have suggestions for additional sources or literature that could provide further insight into the implications and influence of the Crick, Brenner et al. experiment on modern research? I'm particularly interested in exploring how subsequent studies have built upon or diverged from the findings of this landmark experiment._Risaislam (talk) 16:53, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Feedback on Page Edit

The reorganisation and edits to the content of the page both look great! My only feedback is that it seems relevant to link to the experiment itself somewhere in the article, which you mentioned to believe to be bad practice. Perhaps you could add it as a citation to the first sentence of the summary of the page? It would make it easier for future readers to find the experiment in question, in order to learn more.

Page move to correct name

The page has been moved to Frameshift mutation experiment to use a descriptive, commonly used title and to replace the nonstandard "Crick, Brenner et al." phrasing. This also addresses a prior concern raised on this talk page (way back in 2014) about the title. This is also more consistent with the naming of many other experiments in Wikipedia; see List_of_experiments. LocusAndLeaf (talk) 22:29, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
