Results Validation sequence accession numbers, gene names, and comparison results appear in Table 1.
The fly people's penchant for playful gene names has tended to cross over, too.
Patterns of term occurrence appear once gene names have been rearranged by hierarchical clustering (Figure 6).
This system of nomenclature results in a wider range of gene names than in other organisms.
Especially gene abbreviations/symbols but also full gene names are often not specific for a single gene.
Since 2009 the kainate receptor subunits have been renamed to correspond with their gene name.
For now, users will be able to mine the data by gene name only.
The full gene names for the members of the first three clusters are given in Table 1.
More seriously, worm, mice and human geneticists think they should tone down their gene names.
