Genetic deletion→Deletion (genetics)— To make consistent withInsertion (genetics).Deletion (genetics) would have been my guess for the correct title. —SeansPotato Business10:17, 2 May 2007 (UTC). Coped from WP:RM byStemonitis11:14, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Support- This will bring the "Genetic deletion" article into consistency with the Insertion (genetics) article. In the field of genetics, it's referred to as just 'deletion' because the context is known, thus one would automatically be inclined to specifiy genetics in brackets (i.e. search for "Deletion (genetics)" ) as is custom on Wikipedia. I do believe that it's policy to make the article title the most commonly (or likely commonly) searched permutation. --SeansPotato Business11:24, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Request of redirection fromindels

Another common way to refer to genetic insertion and deletion is to use the termindel(s).However, currently this is only the cityindel.There are also a few other technicalities related to this term. As an example see the NCBI "indel" inconsistencies:ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/hapmap/genotypes/2010-08_phaseII+III/inconsistencies/422_known_indels.txt.An example of this should be mentioned.Jahibadkaret(talk)08:29, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
