Yes indeed, colorful and humorous gene names are getting new, respectable monikers. I can’t believe we blogged about it before the New York Times covered it. Sure, it was only by a few days, but I’m glad to know we’ve got our finger on the pulse of quirky genetics news, too. I’m also glad to know people are interested in this sort of thing - of course, Sonic the Hedgehog probably had more to do with it than the lunatic fringe….

postscript: Hsien Lei’s got a list of names and some dialogue going about them over at Genetis & Health.
