1. The information is displayed across five tabs, which, from left to
right, are the following: Overview, Category, Locus, Sequence, and Details.
2. The information is displayed across five tabs, which from left to
right, are the following: Overview, Category, Locus, Sequence, and Details.
3. The information is displayed across five tabs, which from left to

Three different editors. Three different copy edits. I have my 'druthers,
but I thought I would reach out to all the writers on this list and get a

an absolute right and wrong, but I need to be neutral and non-judgmental
when supplying my feedback and making the correction. Three egos are
involved. . . .
