Work in progress - we (Kamila Osypiuk, Kelley Ambrose, and myself) will be updating the DISC1 stub

Project Proposal

Currently, the page has a brief summary of the protein, and topic headings for “Function”, “Clinical Significance”, “Interactions”, “References” and “Further Reading”. We intend to improve it in the following ways (each individual's tasks are outlined in parentheses):

1. Double-check the validity of the information that is currently on the page. (All)
   1. Visit referenced source pages and verify information is up-to-date.
   2. Explore the source pages in more depth and use them as a first “go-to” for our research
   3. Use databases to verify information: PubMed, PsycINFO, APA PsychNET
2. Add a history section – how it was discovered, studies that were done in discovery (Kelley Ambrose)
3. Add a “Structure and Mechanisms” section (Ben Snawder)
4. Detail the interactions between DISC1 and the listed proteins (Ben Snawder)
5. Broaden and add subtopics under "Clinical Significance" (including but not limited to: Schizophrenia, Bipolar disorder) (Kelley Ambrose and Kamila Osypiuk)
6. Add “Current Research” section (Kamila Osypiuk)
