Those wacky geneticists. Sitting in their labs all day using million dollar computers, ultra high power microscopes and buy Adobe Creative Suite 5 Web oem all sort of CSI-like technology to mess with the sanctity of life …
When they eventually arrive at an buy Adobe Creative Suite 5 Web oem innovative finding, geneticists sometimes let their sense of humour slip into their naming conventions.
Take this extract from Your Inner Fish,
“Just as paleontologists get to buy Adobe Creative Suite 5 Web oem name new species, geneticists get to name new genes. The fly geneticists who buy Adobe Creative Suite 5 Web oem discovered hedgehog had buy Adobe Creative Suite 5 Web oem named it that because the flies with a mutation in the buy Adobe Creative Suite 5 Web oem gene had bristles that reminded them of a little hedgehog. Tabin, McMahon and buy Adobe Creative Suite 5 Web oem Ingham named the chicken version of the gene Sonic hedgehog, after the Sega Genesis video game”
What seemed funny in a buy Adobe Creative Suite 5 Web oem fruit fly, however, can be impolitic or even rude when buy Adobe Creative Suite 5 Web oem applied to a human condition, as the New York Times noted a few years ago:
“… Many of those genes were given weird names when buy Adobe Creative Suite 5 Web oem first discovered. Scientists have come up with names for genes in fruit flies, for buy Adobe Creative Suite 5 Web oem example, that may be mystifying (“faint sausage,” “fear of intimacy”), cute (“tribbles,” “groucho” and “smurf”), or macabre (“sex lethal” and “death executioner Bcl-2.”)
…The human variant of the fruit fly’s “hedgehog” gene … has buy Adobe Creative Suite 5 Web oem been linked to a condition known as Holoprosencephaly, which can result in severe brain, skull and buy Adobe Creative Suite 5 Web oem facial defects.
“It’s a cute name when you have stupid flies and you call it a ‘turnip,’ ” Dr. Doe said. “When it’s linked to development in humans, it’s not so cute any more.””
